I was in desperate need of some clothes...I still am but have managed to slowly add a few things here and there.

I was shopping with my friend who is my "fashion consultant" haha.....it's hard for me to shop alone when I am so use to only having two plus sized stores with a set style to choose from....anyway....I was shopping with my friend and we picked out some shirts and I took a bunch of Mediums into the change room with me and lord love a duck....they were all too big!

EVERY

SINGLE

ONE

OF

THEM!!!

I proudly walked out of that store with two new size SMALL shirts clutched in my hands! Woohoo! This is a huge victory for me and it's been an awesome week! I am 2.8 pounds away from goal at less than 14 months out....wearing a size SMALL.....and full of energy and a new zest for life! It's incredible!

This weekend I am going shopping for new jeans because my 10's and 8's are falling off of me.....holy mackeral I will need a defibrillator if I end up buying a pair of size 6 or 4 jeans!

I was a stuffed sausage in my size 5X tops and 32 jeans pre-op.....and now this! Wowsa!

Work hard folks and keep up your determination because the NSV's at the end of the losing phase are just as exciting as the ones in the beginning!

Hopefully the next post you hear from me is me shouting from the rooftops that I hit my GOAL at last!

Thanks Michelle!!  I am still head over heels in love with your Bento!  I have been staring at it on Amazon for two days trying to talk myself into spending the money!

Honestly, I bought both of them and felt like it was money never better spent.  It was a hit to the wallet at the time, but I use them every day, and for me it was totally worth the money.  Especially considering that I used to BUY lunch at work every day!  The white and pink and green set cost less than a week of bought lunches at work...

Omg. That is awesome. I haven't worn a small since I was a teenager.  I was always a medium/large.  Now I'm a 3x. I'd be happy at this point to get into a 14. That is so awesome and what an inspiration. Can't wait for my surgery next month. Hope it's me posting comments like this a year from now. Weigh to go girl!

Wow, I cannot imagine what an experience that was for you!  Congratulations.  You've obviously worked very hard to get those results.  You're setting a great example for not only your family, but the rest of us newbies!

Happy jean shopping!
