1. Lose about 25 lbs. so that all my old dress clothes, shoes, and Jnco jeans fit. (275, size 24) 1-2 months
--->After this, I will join the gym again, because my knees shouldn't hurt so much.

2. Be able to comfortably wear old Plugg jeans and have all old t-shirts fit loosely. (260, size 22) 2-3 months

3. Look decent in favorite high school tank tops, wear really old courderoy shorts comfortably, be able to buy things from Old Navy. (240, size 20) 3-7 months

4. Reach my own goal weight of 200 lbs. (size 18 or 16) 7-12 months

5. Reach 90% weight loss at 175 lbs.- I could
stay at this size forever and be happy. (no idea what size- I can't remember being that small!)12-18 months

6. Reach ideal weight of 160, or fit into a size 13/14 so I can shop at regular stores, specifically Bebe. Very long-term, and no pressure. ULTIMATE GOAL

OH NO, SHE DIDN'T. . .

SHE WOULDN'T BUY THINGS THAT ARE TOO SMALL
NOW. . .

OH GOSH, SHE DID!
    Ok, but I have very good reasons for buying two things in sizes that are way too small for me. 
     See, it's like this.  I ordered some clothes from Delia's last year when I saw the catalog went up to a 3X.  Stupid me didn't bother to look at the sizing chart, and these 3X's were WAY too small.  So I returned them all, but unfortunately could only get store credit for this one top I got on sale.  So I realized I had this stupid credit to a store full of clothes that wouldn't fit me.  So when a catalog came in the mail and I saw a cute
yellow tank top that was on sale, I ordered it in the largest size they had left- XL.  So right now, it is way too small, but I hope that some day it will fit.   
     The other thing is something I HAD to get.  It is a
pink fleece kitty hoodie with matching mittens from Cosmic Debris.  I was just going to wait and see if I lost enough weight to fit into their large, but I called them and they said they would only have it probably for another few months.  So I freaked out and ordered it anyway, in a large, and I really really hope it fits eventually.  Otherwise, I suppose I can just sell it on EBay.  =P
