I have a wedding coming up in 2 days (yeah yeah I waited until the last minute). My usual go to for clothes is Addition Elle but I didn't really like what they had for dresses so I went to Torrid.
First off let me just say that the sales people in Torrid at the Eaton Centre are amazingly patient and helpful. I was probably in there for almost 2 hours, tried on 9 dresses in various sizes and a few bras. And some shorts. I ended up leaving with a size 20 dress, down from a 24, same for shorts. Bras are still tricky but they carry size G at Torrid, which I didn't know, and got a great cup fit, even if I do have to use an extender around the chest. Hopefully someday I'll be able to wear it without the extender!
I think I need to change my weight goal. At first I put 185, mostly because when the nurse aked me what I wanted to weigh after surgery I had no idea. I figured they would tell you what your goal would be. Having lost 48 pounds so far I'm thinking I could weigh 150, like I used to years ago. I don't know if I have to talk to the nurses to change my goal or just change it myself. I'm kinda bummed that losing 48 pounds hasn't made a HUGE difference in the way I look, because 48 pounds seems like a lot. I can't really work out yet because I'm only 5 weeks but soon! Maybe working out will help with the body I want to have instead of this mess of fat and flab.
