Down to a size 14 from 26W. CRAZY!!

It's so bizarre how quickly I went from a size 26W to a size 14.  I can't get over it.  I haven't been a size 14 since 7th or 8th grade!  It's truely amazing.  I can't get over it.  I got a 50% off coupon for Goodwill that I'm going to go use today.  Shoot, i might be a size 12 by the time I get over there.  HAHAHA  just kidding.  It's not worth buying new clothes just yet since i'm still dropping some weight.  I just enjoy shopping at thrift stores for now.

Have a Wonderful Weekend,
Mayra

Mayra,

AWESOME!

You should look for or found a clothing exchange.  It works pretty well in conjunction with support groups or social groups. 

I go to the coffee socials in Long Beach and, usually, the clothing exchange is exceptional.

Hope you have more patience than me at Goodwill.  The ones in this area arrange the clothing by type of item (jeans, skirt, dress) and color.  I detest going through 400 - 500 pairs of blue jeans to look for my size and finding exactly 0 pairs; I am anal enough to wish they would also segregate the stuff by size.

If you have a 50% off coupon and are in the losing mode, you might want to think about buying a ladder of sizes two three sizes down from what you currently wear.  The prices at Goodwill are already good and, at 50% off, it's even better!  Plus, stock i**** or miss.

If you have one in the area, I strongly recommend Plato's Closet.  Really good quality, reasonable prices, arranged in a great semblence of order AND you can sell them your old stuff.  platoscloset.com/

Hey Myra when do we get to see a new avatar! I need to put one up too. You are doing so well with this surgery. I am so happy for you!

Hi Mayra and congrats on your successful journey!  That is awesome that you went from from a 26 to a 14 and don't sell yourself short because you will probably bypass size 12 too! 
Take care and remember to drink your water and eat/drink protein.

That is so awesome!  Good for you.  I hit Goodwill weekly just to see where Im at size wise and if i find something awesome i dont feel too guilty to buy it.
