Fat Girls Club: Gloria Vanderbilt, the Gateway Size

You know how people say that pot is the gateway drug for hardcore drug addiction? Well, then Gloria Vanderbilt must be the gateway label for the next size down when you're losing weight. It's no secret that GV is one of the worst vanity sizers out there. A size 6 in Vanderbilt would probably be a 12 in Calvin Klein, but hey. I'll take my 6 any way I can get it, and guess what?

I could have gotten it.

Of course, I didn't know it at the time. I was browsing around Costco and found a cute pair of pale pink capris for $16 that really needed to be mine. I've been fitting pretty comfortably into 8s lately, so I stuffed one in my cart and took it home. The next day I was astonished to discover that my new capris fit perfectly when I first put them on, and by the end of the day I was actually having to pull them up! You know what that means?

I should have gotten the 6! Dang it!

I can't even credit Weight Watchers any more. WW was just the thing I needed back when I was sitting at a desk all day. But apparently all I really needed was to take on a babysitting gig because I dropped 5 pounds in a week without counting points or even watching what I was eating. Who knew it could be so easy?

Who knew I would ever utter the words "Boys, stop mopping Grandma," or "Logan, stop making Claire play fetch," all in the same afternoon?

See what I'm saying?

Anywho, the stats are:

Pounds lost since 4/21: 6.6

Total pounds lost: 16.8

.

I'm over halfway to my goal of 30!
