Shopping

We went out to vote in the Finnish Parliament Elections today, the Honorary Consulate is starting to be quite a familiar place. Apparently the day had been really busy, Finns in Vancouver are apparently pretty patriotic.

After that I went and did some clothes shopping. All of my current jeans are pretty much falling off me after the weight I've lost - in retrospect I can say this has been happening over a longer period than I thought. I'm now the same size I was when I was 18... I've gone down one size - kinda weird to be the "coveted" size 0. Maybe this will make me feel a bit better about my body - the unshapely baggy pants have bothered me for a while, it's so obvious then that I'm not wearing clothes that fit me at all. Which makes me dislike my body even more, which means I don't want to take care of it - now in my fitting nice new jeans and chakis I feel pretty again.

And I feel ok, too. After all those "oh my god, what's happened to you?" comments, last week I got two "you've lost weight, you look great - what's your secret?" (they are not that happy to hear that it's "stop eating") so hopefully it means that I look healthier too. I can't tell anymore.
