I had a bit of alone time today, which seldom happens anymore.  Hubby was out picking up some salvaged materials for a future greenhouse.  Little Man, who usually spends weekends with us, was spending time with his other grandpa. 

With the house to myself I decided it would be a good time to go through my wardrobe and pack away that which no longer fits.  

I pretty much tried on everything I own, including a bathing suit that I bought a few months (and 20 pounds) ago.  I remember the cashier looking at me, and then at the suit, making sure I knew that I could "return it if it doesn't work out".

That was the first thing I tried on.  Why, I'm  not sure.  I was prepared for a horror show, cuz this 63 year old body is not exactly shrinking in a way that is pleasing. 

Looking at my legs was really jarring.  Definitely senior citizen-esque.  Oh well.  However, the way the suit fit was surprisingly satisfying.  I like it!  I can't remember the last time I felt good in a swim suit!

Next I tried on all my favorite Sunday outfits.   It's bittersweet, cuz many are no longer useable.  I have loved these clothes.  They made me feel pretty regardless of my weight.  I packed them away, possibly to give away, hopefully to never fit into again... 

My everyday clothes are all stretchy and I'm still wearing most of them even it they're baggy.  I've replaced a couple of pairs of pants, but the tops will still do for awhile longer.  I'll replace them a little at a time.

Now, dare I mention bras?  I had to buy new ones recently, but I'm not sure I got the size right.  I'm still trying to figure where I am on that front.  They're fine for now.

I don't want a whole new wardrobe yet.  I want to lose a lot more weight.   And this little clothing review was good motivation.
