A wowza moment

After my complaining post, I thought I would mention something wonderful that happened today... I was in Banana Republic with a girlfriend who needed something. She was taking forever and I picked up a pair of non-stretch khaki pants in a size 12. I thought "I will just go try these on to see how far I have to go". They were too big! What?! I could not believe it... I have been in a 14 from LB for a while now, so I was shocked that a regular store 12 fit... I did not buy them though My tummy maybe able to fit in normal clothes, but my short legs are still a problem. The pants were about 10" too long for me It was a bit motivating as well Just thought I would share... tell me what YOUR recent wow moments have been???

Good for You! Those shopping expereinces are interesting for me. I went to JC Penney yesterday with my mother and daugher to do a little browseing. I need a new winter coat this year- donated all my older size 4x/32 size coats this summer. I live in Minnesota so a winter coat is as important as water! I tried on a 2x - too big, then a 1x- fit fine and acturally purchased a coat in a regular store at a great sale price! It's funny how I love to go shopping at regular stores but always fear things won't really fit - like all this weight will magically come back and this is just a dream. I'm still a long way from "slim" but just keep on truckin'. Get to the petites and celebrate !!! cj

Congratulations on the size 12's. That's Amazing My legs are very short too so I understand what your going through! My latest wow moment.. I usually wear a simple jeans and Tshirt to school. Well the other day, I wanted to wear my blue one but it was dirty (size 3X, thats too big but comfy) so I looked in steph's closet and decided to try on her XL.. IT FIT!!!! I have not worn an XL since probably middle school. Enjoy the rest of your weekend kay

One night I spent the night at my boyfriends but didn't have any pjs, so I wore an old t-shirt of his and his shorts....and they were wayyyyyy too big. He wasn't a big guy....average size. I remember when I was bigger I would be too embarassed to ask anyone to wear anything because I thought I wouldn't even be able to wear oversized men's clothes! It felt good...i felt.....normal. April
