Cleaning out the closet (Accidental XPost)

  After having a couple of rough days, I decided that since I'm feeling better today to clean out my closet.

At least half of my clothes have gone into the giveaway bag, and I'm down to only about a week and a half's worth of work clothes. Thank goodness I've been gifted with several pairs of jeans from other posties, or I'd be nearly naked on the weekend!

I've hung onto my "skinny" pants for the last 5+ years hoping to fit into them again. I think I was able to wear them all of about 2 weeks before I balooned up again the last time I lost weight.

Now??? They FIT! They're a size 20, and I started at a tight 26, down to a tight 24 at surgery time. I'm so excited! Jeans still seem to be fitting too tight to wear, but at least I know my workclothes are covered.

Just thought I'd share with people who would understand why I'm so excited.  Once my sister has had a chance to go through my bags o' bigger clothes, I'll be offering them up at the Waterloo coffee night.

Congratulations Shar!    That must be such a terrific feeling! I'm about a 26 right now, so I can just picture your excitement at wearing a size 20!  You have sure come a long way since your highest weight and you must be so proud of how far you've come!

Glad to hear you are feeling better, and up to the task of sorting clothes.

May your sister and others be blessed with your generosity

Congrats hun, I had another huge bag there this week of clothes to give away, but i hope you are on the mend..see you soon

 Thanks everyone.

I am better... turns out it was just constipation causing some pretty bad stomach cramps. I've got my colace and Senokot and seem to be getting better.

I'll see you all next week!

Good for you Char! You're doing great. Glad your feeling better too.

Awesome News Sarah !  You must feel so wonderful!  I can't wait to be where you are!
