Two things happened today...

1st - I broke the 200 barrier and am now happily in Onederland!!

2nd - I am officially out of the plus sizes! My first time trying on clothes at a store since surgery and a normal size 16 pants fit without trouble. No more 18W for me! And a large sweater fit without being tight! I usually have to go with an XXL or 1X. I'm a bit of a clothes freak and may have to get a 2nd job to get my fix. Lol. Absolutely worth it!

Yay! I love shopping second hand consignments and yard sales. Save a ton of money as you're moving through sizes that way.

LOVE THIS! You will fly through the sizes! It's surprisingly heart breaking because you will buy clothes that you love and fit into now and next week they'll be too big and you'll look borderline homeless LOL No one is kidding you when they say thrift stores will be your new best friend. I was so against it until I realized that lots of them sell smaller sizes from name brand places and no one else will know that your clothes are second hand. Enjoy enjoy enjoy! I'll be over here struggling to not buy everything in sight as well... Don't get me started on this new LuLaRoe craze all over my facebook!

Try and hold off on too many purchases... I still remember being so jazzed I got to 18/20 from some 30/32's and bought a couple hundred bucks of outfits... it was beyond my wildest dreams... but some never even had the tags removed before a big scale woosh...

But Yay!! Congrats!!

Congratulations! Have fun shopping! I am the exact same way, so I have been taking my old clothes to an upscale consignment shop and getting new ones with the money I'm making. It's really fun to see how much credit I have when I walk in the door each time.
