6 weeks post op

Nov 10, 2010

I was out at the mall this afternoon with my niece and mother.  As we shopped the mall, my niece wanted to go into Forever 21.  We proceeded onto the store, and she pointed out as we entered that there was a plus size section in the store, Faith 21.   I shrugged and thought I was likely too big to fit in any of their clothes.   Boy was I WRONG!

As she shopped around the store, my mom and I browsed the plus size section.  I then came across these skinny jeans and a size 20 was on top of the pile staring at me.  I picked them up and asked my mom if she thought they would fit.  She said yes.  I grabbed them and went over to the fitting room to try them on.  To my suprise they fit and pretty lose from my waist and a big from my thighs.  I was so excited...I haven't been a size 20 in so long.  As I walked out looking for my niece and mom, I wondered if possibly a size 18 would fit.  So I headed over and grabbed a size 18.  I tried it on...and it FIT!!!  I was so happy.  I haven't been a size 18 since I was 19/20 years old.   The best part the jeans were $11.50, which in my mind is a bargain compared to how much I am useto spending on plus size clothes at Lane Bryant and the Avenue.   So I grabbed two pairs of jeans and bought them.  

I am amazed at how much my body has changed in such a short amount of time.   I haven't lost since I weighed myself two weeks ago, however I can tell that in losing 30 lbs, I have lost a great amount of inches.  In 6 weeks I went from a size 26 pants to a size 18.   I still find it so amazing to believe.

Anyways, I just wanted to share my wow moment with my friends, since it is one of my first with many more to come that's for sure.
