Today I went shopping for a nice new Christmas shirt. I thought I should have something pretty to wear since it will be my first Christmas home in a while and also my last Christmas home in awhile. So we're in a department store, I'm looking at all the gorgeous plus size shirts. I get a cart full and off I go to the change room. All of the shirts were 1X. All of the shirts were too big!

OMG I was excited! I was shrieking like I won the lottery. My girlfriends were excited too and so happy for me until...

I walked over to the regular size section. I grabbed another cart full of regular XL shirts. While they all fit until my hips, they were deemed too small!

There are no sizes between XL and 1X...*tears* How could this happen. My tops are now in a 14-16 range but my bottoms are still holding strong in the low 20's (depending on cut) and it's making it nearly impossible for me to feel like I'm put together. But it's a small price to pay for the end result...just needed to rant and both Mum and Sister are not picking up!

In other news, pills are hard. I'm now on calcium, iron and a new mulit-vitamin. All are making me throw up. Most people have said it's really normal for that to happen but still, it's nearly unbearable and has really thrown my schedule off during the day since I can't get up and have a protein shake right away. The Calcium we've discovered needs to be taken on an empty stomach - we discovered this after I puked in every store in La Palmera mall last week. The Iron and Multi need to be taken with alot of food, to the point where I have a hard time getting them down because I'm so full but if not I throw up and if I drink even a sip too much water, out it comes again too. Feels like a rough road right now but I'm talking to my Dr. to see if I can do a liquid or chewable vitamins until my pouch gets more used to them.

This is all for today guys. Life is good, just so busy. We move in 2.5 weeks and will be in Canada on December 13th! I can't wait. Lots of love!
