WOW Moment Today!!!!!

I just wanted to share what a great day I had today. It was my birthday on Tuesday (the 4th) and my husband's family has a tradition of doing a "treat day" for your b-day. On your treat day, all the women in the family go to lunch and then on a shopping spree (we also do the same thing at holiday time, but everyone shops). Prior to WLS I dreaded these outings. I would spend the week before thinking of non-clothes things I could get (we always do this at the mall) or how I could just try to buy things and not try them on (you always have to do a little fashion show when you try things on). It was more of a stress than an enjoyable outing. So, here I am down over 45 pounds since WLS and it's my birthday, hence the "treat day". I actually looked forward to it and had the best time today. We started at Nordstroms and I got some fabulous outfits. I purposely bought a few things a little tight so they would fit longer! As I'm sure many of you can relate, it's so much more fun to try on clothes when you're thinner. The largest size I bought was a 12 and most of the tops and jackets were Mediums! My husband's family, who up until today had not said a word about my weight loss (they don't know about the surgery) were all commenting on how great I looked and wanted to know what I was doing! It was a such a great feeling! Anyway, I just wanted to share my HAPPY treat day! Have a wonderful weekend, y'all! Lisa S.

I'm so happy for you and happy belated bday!!!! Whoo hooo!
