Default An Embarrassing Wow Moment - My 1st Wow!

I haven't worn any of my work clothes for six weeks, and I had no idea how my 46lb weight loss would effect the way they fit on my body...

So I get dressed on Tuesday morning and see the HUGE difference. I notice my pants are way tooo big and I have to hike them all the way up under my boobs for them to fit and not drag the floor. I don't know what I was thinking... How could they possibly stay there all day long... I haven't worn or owned a belt in YEARS so it just didn't even dawn on me that I might need one!

Well I go into the backroom at work and my co-manager and I just laugh and catch up. I sit down and we talk about what's happened since I have been gone and all that good stuff... there is never a dull moment in retail!

Then It Happens!

I stand back up to walk out onto the floor and my pants do NOT come with me! Just my lilly white legs and me...

Erica just laughed and turned bright red... I'm sure I did too! Thank goodness she is a friend and supporter!

I quickly hiked them back up and purchased a belt before the store opened...

So... There you have it... My first WOW moment...

Others that soon followed:

1. Could actually wear a belt
2. Shopped later that day and was able to fit into a size 18-20w! Down from a size 26-28!
3. My legs look damn good! Erica even says so! Hahahaha

ROFL I had to laugh..because I remember a month or so ago, I was out of town for training and actually had to walk around holding the back of my pants up so they wouldn't fall down...hahaha Needless to say I've found some that fit better since then...and I have a whole new investment in belts!
