I know, crazy thought right? The reality is I really didn't know that this would even bother me. It didn't bother me until recently when I discovered that one of the greatest novelties of my new body is that my towel makes it all the way around my body each time I use it. (Loooove it!)
For years (I mean as long as I can remember) I was used to the towel that only went from the far side of the front half of my body to the far side of the back side of my body leaving a gaping hole on the side as my fatness hung out. I often just thought they made towels small but have quickly learned that was just an excuse. (I was the one who allowed myself to get that big.) If ever I needed to run to the laundry room or was doing something where a towel would have been a good quick cover up, I had to either go with the beach towel option or throw PJ's on. (Not that it's a daily occurrence but this might happen on occasion.)
How lovely it is now that I can use my towel and practically wear it! (As a dress that is.) I love it. I love the roominess of it. I love the feel of it. I love that it makes me feel small. I just love it.
Not to mention, look how much is left over on the sides?! Wahoo!
I know, my hubby thought this post was almost comical when I asked him to take the pictures for me, but I had to explain to him that to me it was huge. Huge in the fact that for someone who for as long as she can remember wasn't been able to wrap herself in a towel but now can...... makes her feel like a million bucks!
This post made me cry. So happy that you get to feel that amazing feeling. I hope one day I get to experience that too. It is the little things that really do make the difference and make you feel wonderful.
ReplyDeleteThat has been one of my goals from the very beginning. Not silly at all.
ReplyDelete:) I love this post!
ReplyDeleteYou are so cute!! You have worked hard to get to where u are!!! I say post away!!!
ReplyDeleteIt's the little things isn't it? Bath towels, legs not rubbing together, muscle definition, crossing our legs - all add up to something that is huge from our perspective. Congratulations.
ReplyDeleteWhat a gift! I cannot wait until I can shop for non plus-size clothes. It almost feels impossible. But, it will happen!!!
ReplyDeleteSo funny that I was just thinking of this same thing yesterday at the public pool I brought my son to. Not only does the towel fit, but I actually stepped foot in a public pool. HUGE for me. Congratulations! You never fail to make me smile:)
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh! The same thing happened to me. It was a huge deal. Crossing my legs and seeing my toes in the shower was big thing for me too.
ReplyDeleteLove that you are enjoying the little things. I am not done on my quest to lose weight yet but I love noticing things like this when they happen. Like others have said the crossing the legs this is huge for me also going to the spa and being wraped up in the big (now) robes is amazing!
ReplyDeleteHmmmmm! I am still using my old beach towels. You better believe that tomorrow morning I will be trying this! My beach towels wrap around me 3 times, I use them out of habit!! btw, as others have commented, I LOVE LOVE LOVE sitting with my legs crossed!! Makes me feel like a lady again!
ReplyDeleteI love this post! I understand 100%. I lost 30 lbs 2 years ago and have gained 20 back. It's the little things that are so grande! I will be working hard to make my towel fit me again! Keep up the great work and keep the posts coming. You are truly an inspiration!
ReplyDeleteYou should be totally proud of the towel and the towel look :) It definitely will keep you on the right track knowing how good it makes you feel! Keep trucking lady:)
ReplyDeleteOMG, Paige you totally crack me up. I was just thinking the same thing. How when I started my journey I couldn't close the damn towl and now it's getting closer and closer to closing.
ReplyDeleteYour blog makes me laugh:) Keep up the great work girl.
I've just found your blog, you look amazing!! congrats!
ReplyDeleteHa! It's so true. Just discovered your blog. You are an inspiration. I look forward to following your blog. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI know what you’re trying to point out here. I was also in the same situation years ago. But now, I can proudly fully wrap any kind of towel around my body. It makes me feel happy that I lost so much weight. It makes me more confident, because now I can wrap a towel around my body in a public swimming pool. ->Yon Vann
