Buying a shirt...

So tomorrow I start my new job and I am super excited because it is in a bakery!!  Well, I have to wear a white button down long sleeve shirt.  I currently do not own one of those so I had to go buy one today.  We were out and about in Anchorage today getting some stuff we needed and I went into Sears to see if they had a shirt for a decent price.  Generally, I look at men's shirts just because I usually have trouble finding one for me in women's.  But today I thought you know my clothes have been fitting a lot looser so let me just check for shits and giggles.  So I went to the women's department and started looking for some shirts and I found 3 that would work.  Now since I am not sure what size shirt to get now, I grabbed 3 different shirts and 3 different sizes.  Shirt 1 was size 24, shirt 2 was size 22 and shirt 3 was size 20.  Yes, still big sizes, but hey at least it is coming off and baby steps is the way to go.  I sure as hell didn't put this weight on over night (even though it feels that way sometimes) so it is not going to come off over night.  Anyway, I took the shirts to the dressing room and tried them on.  First was the 24, no, not even close, this shirt looked really bad on me.  It could have been the cut or style in all fairness.  Then I tried on the 22, looked a little better but I just wasn't comfortable in it.  Then it came to the size 20 and I was worried but I did like this style the best and it was the only one left of its kind on the rack, not to mention it was on sale.  So I took a deep breath, hope for the best and put it on.  OMG!!!!!!  To my extremely surprised surprise it fit.  Not only did it fit but it fit very nice and there was still room.  It was not skin tight and I could button all of the buttons with ease.  Needless to say I was extremely happy so I got dressed and purchased this awesome shirt for my (hope to be) awesome job tomorrow!! These are the "little" things that keep me going...
