My efforts have all been worth it. Of course, the 23 pounds would say it all. Add on the boost coming from people congratulating me for a job well done and not to mention the self-confidence meter slowly gearing up.
But of course, it doesn't stop there. Losing weight meant clothes are suddenly becoming baggy. My blouses suddenly look too big for me. Previously could-barely-be-buttoned-up-pants start to look like they're pajamas.
Next thing I knew, I was rushing to the seamstress every week just to have my clothes mended (of course, in batches). Blouses had to be cut a bit to show off the curves. Pants had to be constricted for them not to look like home clothes.
And that's when Project Runway was born. I knew this was my chance to revitalize my wardrobe. Of course, this is the perfect opportunity to do just that! And though it meant spending a lot on clothes, it is very welcome and encouraged. Because I'm gonna be spending on smaller-sized clothes this time, not the other way around! :)
Who am I to let that opportunity slip by? Of course I won't! And that I made sure just as I went on a shopping spree a couple of weeks ago, buying several clothes at a time, trying on as many as I want. Yes, it hurt my pockets a bit, but I didn't mind at all. Just finding out I was two sizes smaller more than compensated for how much I spent!
And just today, I went ahead and bought three pairs of jeans. These are a bit more expensive than blouses, but the happiness it gave me just by knowing I am three sizes smaller is incomparable and definitely priceless!
Now, it doesn't end here. This is a journey which I intend to stretch on a bit further and I am ready for how it would be in the next few weeks. In fact, I am excited to see where I could bring myself to in the next few months. :)
