Yes I'm 36 and I've been shopping in the sales for the first time

I mean, lets face it, when you can only shop in one shop and you've bought most of the stuff you like there's no point.
Not this year though. I've had a great time buying tops for £5!!! from Next and New Look. I've bought a lovely green cord jacket from Wallis reduced to £25 and a suede skirt for £10. I have absolutely loooooooooved it. I couldnt even get a pair of knickers for a fiver last year

The only thing I have found though, is that now I'm smaller people think absolutely nothing of elbowing or pushing me out of the way
I've accidentally elbowed a lot of them back. Ignorant buggers. I think when I was bigger I was more aware of not getting too close to people or invading their space, but people seem to think nothing of pushing me out of the way now!!
The only silly thing I've done is that I wish I had bought size 14's in the sale. As usual I'm having a hard time dealing with going down a size again. As I'm sure I've said before I always think that the 14 etc that I'm wearing is a freak size and is really a size bigger. I was wearing a pair of size 16 cords yesterday and realised that I took them off without undoing them
and the lovely suede skirt is at least 2 inches too big around the waist. Although I can get round that by wearing it lower round my hips.
Wow this losing weight "thing" is certainly opening my eyes. I'm beginning to feel like a realy girly girl
And on the subject of being a girly girl I've been asked to go on a girly night out to a club in town!!! A club???? I haven't been to a club in years and years. What should I wear?? Everyone keeps saying "Oh you'll have all the men chatting you up". Now although this is a nice thought and I'm sure people are trying to boost my confidence. I don't want to be chatted up by men. For a start I will still (in my fat girls head) think they're doing it for a dare! and for another thing it scares me to death!!!!
When I was over 25 stone I thought nothing of flirting. Now though, it's a whole different thing. In my mind, I was safe at that weight. No-one would take me seriously. But now!!! what if someone tooke me seriously??? I don't fancy getting into that situation. My hubbys the only one I need ![]()
Hmmmm for all the good things about losing weight there are some things I still don't know how to deal with.
Help
