Clothing NSV

Yesterday I went clothing shopping with my BFF.  I decided to buy a few outfits to start building my permanent wardrobe. Not only did I buy off the rack in a normal dress shop, I actually bought 3 tops in size "SMALL"  Me, the woman who was barely fitting in her 5X clothes 18 months ago.  My pants are still a "medium" or "large."  I still have a significant roll of belly fat, but I never thought I'd see the day where I could wear a size "SMALL" 

I was doing a happy dance in the store.  This WLS really works.  If I can do it, you can too!   Did I mention I love my sleeve?

best wishes,
Carol

I love being able to wear a small top.  My slacks are 10-12 petite -probably would be 8 with less belly fat but I am ok with it.  I am sure this pleasant adjustment will take time. Go Carol!
