Happy to see other stallers - in a good way

I am so happy to see all you other stallers. I have been at 174-175 for 3 weeks plus and it is about to drive me crazy. However, a HUGE wow moment today, I saw the cutest pair of shorts in bright neon orange - they were 12 bucks but NOT my size - they are an 8/10. Well, I bought them thinking maybe at the end of the summer. I got home and actually had the nerve to try them on, thinking they wouldn't get midway up the thighs and low and behold - all the way up - too tight to wear in public, but still on. I am still dumbfounded as when I look in the mirror, I see the same fat face as I did pre-surgery. My brain has not recognized a size change and I can't see it, 50 pounds or not. However, I can sure tell by my clothes. 14's are falling off and I know a 12 would fit, but I can't seem to make myself buy any (still a large or XL top because of the girls). Anyway, I just wanted to add my 2 cents worth since I usually just lurk. Kim A.

Cool about the shorts. Hopefully we're all just losing inches by the foot and the number on the scale doesn't matter. Come out and play more often! xosm [who actually restrained herself from getting on the scale today for the FIRST time in 3+ months]

That is great on the shorts ! I have a box of clothes that I am "gonna lose my way into" this summer ! Seems like so many of my friends who had been thinner at some time held onto so many clothes. Now they see that I may actaully be able to fit into them so I am getting a ton of "donations!" Keep up the awesome work !
