Been a super busy weekend, my sister was in town from DC and went to Chicago yesterday to see a friend and drove back this morning. Needless to say I'm wiped out!

My sister was super suprised by how much I've lost and how I look now, and even said she was proud of me. A big deal considering she was completely against surgery at the beginning of all of this. But while my sister and I were spending time together on Saturday we went to Old Navy to look around.

I didn't know if anything there would fit me yet but I tried some stuff on anyway. And some of it was too big! I also found a dress that I really liked so I tried that on thinking, I have a wedding to go to at the end of the month, it could work...

The first size (XXL) was too big. The XL was a little big too and I thought, by the end of the month when it's time for the wedding there would be no way to pull it off. So I tried the L thinking, "There is no way in hell I can fit into this *****!" And I'll be damned if it didn't fit!!! And actually looks pretty good. Needs some spanx underneath but doable. So I bought it since it was on sale.

I OWN A SIZE L DRESS FROM OLD NAVY AND IT ******G FITS!!!  I'm still amazed and shocked.



Thanks for reading!

That is so cool! I`m getting to the point now where i`m starting to see the weight lose by how the way cloths fit.
It`s the best feeling in the world to think your not gunna have to buy ridiculously expensive plus size clothing anymore.
I bought a normal sized Halloween costume this year and I would have cried if I wouldnt have been in public lol!
