So I knew going into this I would never be the skinny size 6, ever, i just have that bone structure that an 8 would be great for me.  I just wanted to feel good and be able to do what I couldn't before.  And you know what I do feel great and can do so much that I couldn't do before.

One of the things I was always wanting to do before the surgery was get a super cute halloween costume, you know one from the store.  Well this was my year I thought, I am just about 4 pounds above my goal, no big deal to me, I feel really great.  My son loves super mario so he is goign to be Luigi again this year and I talked Dh into getting a Mario costume.  So I was all set to get the princess costume to match and I was so excited. Lame I know but it was one of those bucket list things for me.

Well long story short, I went to try on the thing and the lady could not even do up the back of the size large:(  I was so upset, knowing how far I had come but knowing that I was never going to be able to fit.  Sigh it really upset me.

So on the bright side,I feel amazing and my health is awsome!  On the bad side, I am still too big for some things.  Sigh.

Just wanted to share, I read with you all everyday, work does not allow me to post like I want, but I am here all and I wanted to say hi:) 

Sue,

All I can say is that if you are as tiny as you look in the pictures, and wearing a size 8...then their size large is totally messed!  Do not let that get you down, you have done awesome!!!

Ok well first thought that popped into my head was what the hell is wrong with those costumes, I mean come on your 128lbs and a L won't do up??  There is something seriously wrong with the company making those.

If you are wearing a size 8 and a large did not fit than something is wrong. The costume size could have been mislabeled. I would go and look somewhere else. i am sure you could find what you want. You are tiny.

Well.  Clearly that costume was mis-sized. Seriously.

I know that feeling of disappointment too, Sue. All I ever wanted were sexy high boots - you think I can fit my calves into those, even NOW?  Mostly nope. :(  Be proud of how far you've come - you're 128 freakin' pounds for gawd sakes!  I think you're awesome. xo

Crazy thought here but is it possible thatthey may have given you a kids large by accident??? Seriously bad sizing if you wear and 8 and a large didn't fit.!! You loook AMAZING!!!

Agreed! It was the first thing I thought when she said it didn't fit!

Man that sucks!

Maybe it's just a sign... you put so much energy effort and dedication in the last year and a half into saving yourself that your body now refuses to be dressed up in an iconic save-me-princess dress?

NICE!!!!!! i love that!!!! the universe is talking to you!! i love it. Way to dig meaning out of it! honestly, i freaking love it.

Brilliant take on it, Flyingwoman!
