OT: Say Yes to the Dress/BIG

I've seen skinny girls react the same way to going up a size.  Girls. We are such ditzes sometimes!

You are going to LOVE your sleeve.  What's your timeline? Do you have a date, yet?

looks like submission to Aetna around end of August and hopefully sugery within a month of that....  Im so anxious! 

Good luck!

I didn't start wearing new clothing sizes until about 45 pounds down. Weird how it seemed to just melt off all over, evenly. Now I notice loss in specific areas. I think my tummy will be last. I have lost over 70 pounds and am only down 4 sizes. It changes once you hit smaller sizes though. Then you can change a size within 5-10 pounds. Sadly, I miss some of my bigger, cute clothes. Though with that said, the word bigger kinda makes them seem less cute now. But I will mourn the loss of my pink zip up sweatshirt I lived in for two years. I am so going to find another one, once I hit goal.

I know what you mean.  I have a few things that I really loved that I'm getting rid of, and it never once occurred to me that I'd mind! 

I think it is because I rarely found anything I was comfortable in at my heaviest, yet alone loved on me.  So it was comfort clothing.  It is amazing that now, it is more about how fabric feels and if it is the right style and color, not just about finding the one thing in the store or at Goodwill that actually would fit.  I love to shop now and fit in so much more.  Cannot wait until I hit goal and can really stock up on my wardrobe, at Goodwill and Salvation Army, of course.  I cannot handle spending full price on anything.  Sales are my hobby.  :O)

Sales are a good hobby to have.  I should work harder at that.

How clothes feel is prime to me.  I had some slinky-feeling things I loved because they felt so cool and slick on my body.
