Wear It Again Wednesday {Week 3}

So this week I shopped in my closet again and was pleasantly surprised to be able to wear this:

It had been 8 years, yes! 8 years since I last wore this denim jacket! 

Not only does it fit, I can easily button the top buttons!! 

and...

Was comfortable in it :D

What do you think?

Wear It Again Wednesday {week 2}

When losing weight, what is your biggest fear?

Mine?

Well it is going shopping in my new size, I know I need new jeans and maybe new shoes but have I made an effort to go shopping? Not really, I am holding onto my size 20 jeans and wearing them with pride that they are loose, I'm also still wearing my size 18 jeans. Odd right?

So this week as I shopped in my very own closet I found this top that I had not worn in a couple of months due to people asking me if I was pregnant. No, I was not nor am I pregnant. But I guess with the weight I had I did look pregnant {7 months maybe?} 

Either way, today I am wearing my loose jeans with a cute top and heels! cork wedges to be exact that are 3" high!!!

What do you think? 

Should I just go get new jeans?? 

Wear It Again Wednesday

I have to be honest, I have been a little nervous and let's just say it... afraid to try on clothes in my very own closet or at a store. 

Why? you ask, well it is simple. 

Even though I am losing weight and loving it, there is still a small part of me that thinks I am still 231 lbs. That I am still a size 20/22.  

That I am still not small enough to fit into a specific size. 

Have you ever felt this way? 

I strongly believe that the worst critics in our life are our own self... US! 

We judge ourselves so harshly and are our best enemy. We know ourselves so well, yet we are fearful of trusting ourself. Why???

Well this past weekend I took that fear and turned it into courage. I faced one of my biggest fears and tried on clothes in my closet, clothes I had not worn in a loooooong looong loong time! and some of them fit, others were too loose and then there were the trophy jeans that weren't even close to fitting me. 

However I did not get discouraged, I did not feel sad, upset or depressed. Instead I used it as my motivation for this week and on Monday even though it was a day off {a holiday} and a day of rest, I hit the gym... did my 30 minute walk and watched diligently what I ate! 

So this will be a weekly post, one that other bloggers will be linking to and maybe we can inspire you to move, to make healthier choices, to drink more water, to watch your portions and to "shop" in your very own closet. You might be surprised at what fits! 

Here is my first Wear It Again Wednesday picture, my outfit one I had not worn in at least 3 years! 

My pants are size and top are size 16 and I'm wearing 3" heels along with my biggest smile! 

Have you shopped in your own closet lately?

How did you feel?
