I bought new pants today.........

And they were a Size 18 Now, I know a lot of people say a size 18 is still big, but when you come from a 30, you gotta love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! When I started this process my goal was to get into a 16 and that goal is in sight now..... I am so excited...now I don't have to automatically go to the "big girl" department at the store! Susann

you look so good so happy for you

That is fannnnnntastic!!!!!!!!!!!!. and you deserve it. Look out Christmas everyone will be going to the size 16 -14 for your presents. I am so happy for you. You go girl

Congratulations Susann, I know it feels great. Keep up the good work, David

That's awesome, Susann!!! I remember the first time I went to the "other side" at Cato. I had (and still do) this feeling that everybody was looking at me and thinking...."what is that fat girl doing shopping on this side". But I'm slowly getting a little more used to it. You will too!!! Hugs, Dianne

I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN, MS DIANNE ... I'LL GO PAST THE REGULAR-SIZED CLOTHES SECTION & THINK TO MYSELF, "MY BIG BACKSIDE WILL NEVER GET IN THOSE" BUT, MY SMALLER BACKSIDE ACTUALLY DOES GET IN REGULAR-SIZED CLOTHES NOW & MY TOPS ARE LIKE ... WELL, COMPARED TO WHAT I USED TO WEAR, THEY LOOK DOWNRIGHT S-M-A-L-L! MY BRAIN HASN'T CAUGHT UP WITH MY BODY SIZE YET. I SEE MYSELF ABOUT 50 #s HEAVIER THAN I AM. GOD BLESS YOU ... DAWN & NICK
