Sorry that I am not updating. My life is uber stressful and I have so little free time it is not even funny.
I bought a dress from the gap before I left Texas. It did not fit, but it was close enough to fitting that it was worth buying (I think it was like 5 bucks.) I had my mom ship it to me here in New York.
It fits. With room. :-)
however, the twice that I have been to the doctor here, I had not lost any weight. I will have to go seek out a scale again, but, ya know, weight isnt everything. Right now, I would just be happy to be able to shop in “regular” stores instead of this inbetweenie crap :-)
