Possible I am shrinking

It could be quite possible I am shrinking. Perhaps that is not a bad thing, however my pants are unusually long and baggy. For someone who never knew her size I have an abundance of jeans these days. We went to a warehouse sale where designer jeans were less than half price. Me being the person that I am, who hates to shop, I figured I would buy enough to last me a year. I bought 5 pairs and got 2 free. 7 pairs of jeans for $350 bucks is pretty ridiculous. Especially considering one pair my sister swears are $250 bucks at Nordstroms alone. I guess the thicker fabric makes them desirable, or the fancy horse shoe pattern/logo on the butt pockets. However, there is no way on earth I would have ever paid that much for one pair of jeans. So I guess it is a nice thing they were on sale.

So now if I shrink my clothes will not fit. Sad by the thought of wasted money I contemplate if that is the case. Most people lose weight in average places, me not so much. My feet are the first to shrink, then my stomach, then my butt. Some say it is a blessing others would agree that it is a curse.

For as long as I can remember I wanted a smaller chest. The ability to wear small shirts, button up shirts that don't pop open, cute colorful bras in my size. It is amazing to me how people pay money for these sort of things. I suppose if my chest was smaller I would want them large. Then again I assume I would show them off more if they were smaller than now. Even though they are not as big as they once were they still are not small. Strange how I can be small everywhere else, but my chest just sticks out. Even more amazing how I was 3 bra sizes bigger while in high school. No wonder I looked so heavy it was all in my chest and I tried to cover it up. The saddest part I look so much smaller and people comment on how much weight I may have lost since high school. Same exact size except my chest is now a DD. No I did not have surgery or do anything drastic. Upper body activity such as yoga is amazing for the chest muscles causing them to shrink. So I suppose when I complain about the shirts not fitting or the clothes unbuttoning, At least I can remember a time when things were a lot worse.

I would like to say men stare less now then they did then, but boys will be boys, and they stare regardless.
