Surprise!

Yes, I can still surprise myself. After being invited to a BBQ yesterday for the 4th of July, I was in a normal quandry: what to wear. It would be warm, but I had no shorts I would wear in public. A dress would be comfortable but might be too cool as it cooled down later on in the evening. A-HA! There's a pair of denim capris in the closet that I had bought on close-out for $10 several months back knowing they'd fit sometime during the summer. Would that be now? So I tried them on. WOW! It's NOW! I thought it would be another month or two before I could get into them. Guess I was way off base. Early on after surgery while everyone was telling me that they could see the difference as I was reporting the weight-loss and my disappointment because I couldn't see it, I wanted to cry with my impatience. I wanted to buy new clothes a size smaller and feel the difference. What I didn't realize was that at the larger sizes it takes more loss to show that difference. I now know that, and do finally see the difference. Some of the clothes that I ordered in the last batch at a smaller size than I had been ordering have to go back anyway because they're TOO BIG! Too funny! HAHAHAHAHAHA. Laugh's on me! and I'm laughing all the way to wherever this adventure is taking me!
