Almost 4 years Post Op and still getting NSVs
I arranged to buy a bunch of clothes from a person through a yard sale group on Facebook. It was to be 50 items of women's clothing for $50. The sizes were to be from L to XXL. She dropped them off yesterday and I got to look at them last night. Mom got some of the larger pieces (too big for me, and they fit her). And I proceeded to try on most of the rest. There were some that were too tight (Hey, I know I'm not a size 10, which is not a L in my book). Usually, I wear a 16 L/XL to fit. Last night I put on a dress size M, and a skirt size 12. The dress fit nice, and the skit might have been a bit stretched, but I was able to do it up!
Ok, I don't remember being 210 lbs, nor do I remember wearing a size 12. But there I was, trying on size 12, 14 & 16 clothes. And they were fitting comfy! Now I have some new clothes to wear to the office. And an top or two when I get a chance to party!
I had about 1/2 a washing machine load to donate (and I have 2 rummage sales coming up that I need to donate to). 2 loads of clothes for me, and about 1/2 a load for my Mom.
Got my $$ worth. And so much more with my size 12 skirt!
