My first OMG I am smaller moment!

So, everyone at work is telling me I need smaller clothes, that the ones I'm wearing make me look dumpy.  My shirts at a 3X/4X and my pants range in size from 22 to 26.  So, I went to wally world to pick up shirts (and undies, since those were sagging too).  I don't try clothes on, never have...I thought I was being optimistic by choosing 2X shirts and size 9 undies.  The shirts are a bit big (hoping they shrink in the wash a bit) and the size 9's...well let's just say they might start calling me droopy drawers!  I'm so excited about this, cause on my weight roller coaster before surgery, even dropping a lot of weight, I still needed to buy big shirts because my shoulders are so wide (big, Polish, manly shoulders!)

Right now, I'm in a good place.  Today is our work place Biggest Loser weigh in.  I'm hoping the scale their is favorable.  My scale says I dropped 5 pounds!

Later peeps!

I really don't know how that works;  I had a computer-savy friend do it for me!!!

And I thank you very much!

I noticed that you said that you never try clothes on before buying.  I bet that you'll soon change that habit because you'll love the way you look and feel in clothes.  I found that I am much more particular about how my clothes fit now!  Best of luck to you!!!

Congrats!!! :)  How exciting!!  I am really happy for you - and just think - this is just the beginning of those "OMG" moments!

I had to reply to this, because the smaller underwear size, I can so relate to.  Right before I had my surgery, I was doing CPR on some unfortunate person at work (work in a hospital) and I was on my 5th or 6th round of compressions standing on a stool and all I could think was - not about the poor soul I was working on - but OMG my underwear are about down to my knees.  Can anyone tell??  LOL
