Today was confirmation that what I have been doing by investing in my health and making smarter choices is not only working in improving my health, but my shopping experiences as well! Beyond the pounds on the scale, the inches in my waist, the before and "in progress" pictures I have taken, I finally reached a new level... Buying something in a smaller size! My nutrition plan brought me back to the "regular size" section while I was shopping today with my mom. I had some Kohls cash and was looking for some cute tops for my future trip to Vegas for Herbalife's Extravaganza event, and low and behold... A super cute top. I had been shopping in the plus section since Mackenzie's birth, and my options were pretty limited, especially living in a smaller town now with only a few stores to pick from. I grabbed a few tops from the plus side, but they just weren't right and seemed baggy. Then right when I was about to give up, I found two cute tops and gave them a whirl. To my surprise, they both fit, and I actually had to pick between the two. For once I wasn't just having to "settle" on something because I needed it. I would have taken them both but two polka dot tops two days in a row at an event would just be too much :) Thank you Lauren Conrad for being such a cute designer and making flattering clothing :) I left the store excited (the free $10 with an additional 30% off might have helped too) and quite happy with my purchase.
This may seem like a small success, but I look at it as a new freedom. I have the freedom to shop wherever I want again and not have my fashion options limited (as if they aren't limited enough being the long amazon woman that I am).
With this new freedom comes a sense of excitement to shop again too! (Sorry Benny, I will go easy on the credit cards). But I truly am excited to start getting back to where I was and actually ENJOY shopping again.
If you like the look you can find it here or in stores:

I know others might have a similar situation, and I promise you this, if you work hard, focus on your goals and treat your body right, you too can enjoy the thrill of finding something that fits you just right and makes you feel confident and beautiful.
Until next time my friends, the Darling Heartbeat continues...
