NSV-more SMALLs are sneaking into my closet
SO I am about 10.5 months post op.
I weight 153 lbs.
I am so happy. When I started this journey I was a size 26-28 W (depending on brand) and wore 2-3X sizes in tops.
Last week I bought a pair of SMALL track pants because the mediums were too big.
Yesterday, at the package pickup for the turkey trot, I had to exchange my medium t-shirt for a SMALL.
I am truly becoming SMALL.
10 months ago-I was beyond huge (i.e. 3X).
Now- I am small!!!

I still find my head trying to play tricks on me with the sizes I'm wearing. I was at the mall a couple of weeks ago, and I made a beeline for Lane Bryant. I haven't been able to shop there in close to a year. I actually whimpered out loud at not being able to wear their clothes anymore. I always loved their clothes and it was a place I always felt comfortable, and I've not found another place like that yet. In fact, I still think I'm going to get snotty looks from girls in places like Express, American Eagle, and the like.
Have you ventured into extra smalls yet? First time I fit into an XS shirt, I was truly shocked. Heck, I'm still shocked by it.
I woke up in between a memory and a dream...

Havent tried the extra smalls yet...but I will as I get down in teh 140s. Small looks good now.
I know what you mean about clothes. I pick up a medium-2X from teh closet, put it on, and then stand there and wonder why the outfit looks so horrible (i.e. the clothes are too big).
Mentally, I still gravitate to L-XL. I am startng to give that stuff away.
When I handle my pants, and the waistband is so LITTLE, it initially feels foreign then i get a rush of happiness.
My face, is the same face I ahd for HS and part of college, so it isnt foreign to me. But the clothes certainly are a mental shift!
