Painting 23 of 30 – September 2014, 30 Paintings 30 Days Challenge
I was never one for clothes shopping, ever. The frustrating part is that on one hand I have lost a lot of weight and look better, but on the other hand some parts of me shed the weight faster than other parts… so my legs might be one size, but the waist is another size. The result is that I’m often “in between” sizes, too big for one too small for the other… and don’t look good in either. I know that eventually things will come together by the time I reach my goal, but until then it can be difficult, and at times discouraging. My husband didn’t quite understand that until one evening the two of us were out without the kids and I asked if I could stop in a store real quick and try on a few things. He saw how excited and hopeful I had been to try a few things on, and then he witnessed my increasing disappointment as nothing seemed to fit quite right… by the time we were ready to leave, I felt shattered. But then two sweet sales ladies reminded me, that I had accomplished so much, and that I need only to be patient as the situation will only get better. I knew then as I do now that they are right, it will only continue get better.
Great dynamics!!!
