Clothes Shopping

I can wear XL now. How neat is the regular size section! What a variety. I bought six too cute capri outfits at Kohl's. I had not been in the regular section for EIGHTEEN YEARS! I was having a ball. Before WLS I always had to buy the biggest thing available how neat to be able to really CHOOSE! Robin

How funny you're mentioning this! My niece graduated today and I told my mom last night that I wished I had better fitting pants to wear. She said "Let's go to Kohl's!!" I said YIPPEE!! LOL I, too, found capri pants in XL that I fell in love with and mom said "Let's get a shirt to go with it!" Oh, how fun that was!! Because I'm an at home mom and don't have anywhere to be for a few months, I'm holding off on buying much clothes until I absolutely have nothing that will stay up or on. I am going to need a bathing suit as I have never been swimming with my kids! Wonder what size I'll get?? I'm itching to take them to the water park now that I am in presentable shape. I'm looking forward to the day I've met my goal then I want to go to the Mall of America for a weekend! Karel

I had to get something for my son's high school graduation. What a pleasant surprise that I can throw out the Silhouettes catalogue and cancel the Elizabeth and Lane Bryant accounts. I hadn't realized so many stores do the XL thing, since I hadn't darkened the doorway of a "real" store in about 10 yrs. I'm trying to keep it down to a dull roar because I can't really figure out how fast I'm going to drop from this stage to, say, the next twenty pounds. In many things I'm even an L -- have a small frame, so when those pounds come off it impacts my size more than I thought. I've done 45 lbs. since Mar. 2 and I know we slow down somewhat now, or I would think so. My sizes have changed so much that I'm actually worried about getting to mid summer (when the stores will no doubt go over to fall clothes!) and not having enough to make it through the summer. I have trip in late July where I will have to dress for dinner and I just can't figure out what size I will be then. A good problem to have. Anybody know if the size changes over the next two months will be as dramatic as the previous two? Gano

It is great to be able to bye smaller clothes I agree. But it is so sad to get so many outfits you love. That when you have lost more {hopefully} sooner than later they wont fit. I brought an outfit that I loved. I fould I started feeling like if I lose not another pound I would be happy. But In the end I started eating bad again. Because I was so pleased by losing 45 lbs/ All I am saying is becare dont be like me. It is hard when you look and see you havent lost a lbs in 4 weeks. GOod luck
