Long Way To Go But Excited

Ok. Confession time. And I'm embarrassed but I still want to share. Before I got pregnant with the twins I was wearing a 26/28 and they were getting pretty snug. Well, I've lost over 60 pounds now, over 40 pounds under my pre-pregnancy weight and I didn't have ANY casual skirts that fit me. I was wearing my last denim skirt (FYI - I don't wear pants) and it was really raggedy and I hadn't realized it. My mom had come a few weeks ago and she was buying me some shirts and I saw my skirt in the full length mirror in the dressing room and was like "this doesn't not look nice anymore". Just worn out. So anyway, mom and I started looking for a longer A line denim skirt to replace my old one. Couldn't find anything. So she calls me last week and she had found one online so we ordered me 3 new skirts. YEAH - I needed them so badly. I was nervous because I measured myself and used the online size guide to determine what size I needed and I really didn't think they would fit. I got them yesterday. I went from a tight 26/28 to a comfortable 22. I know I have a long way to go but I'm so excited. I'm ashamed of where I was and I'm still embarrassed about where I am but I'm excited, too, if that makes any sense.
