What is your biggest surprise?

Even though I am still at a weight that many people would start out at (225) I am having a great time dressing up and wearing high heels again. I am surprised I *can* wear heels and not crush my feet in the process. I had forgotten how much I loved heels from years ago! As for the sizes, I think all of us can relate, but the bad news is that the clothing industry increased the sizes in the last few years (5 years maybe???) and so things that are 18 now are the same size as a 20 10-15 years ago. If you don't believe me, go to a local thrift store and try on some old clothing in your size. You'll see what I mean. Dina

I am supprised at the amount of high heeled shoes I now have in my closet. Even when I was younger and skinner I never wore heals I was all about the sneaker. The other thing that supprised me is that I used to (before the massive weigh gain) be much more athletic. I used to work out almost daily and I did run daily. I loved to work out. Now I can't even drag my butt in once a week. Strange. Leslie

how walking in high heels is so different because of weight loss. Also how I love clothes... I love clothes.. especially bebe. i love makeup. I love to be the center of attention. But I do still comment when people make fun of heavier people. I am defientely an adovicate for wls and obese young women.
