SIZE 10 yippie for Gastric By Pass

12/8/04 SIZE 10 yippie OH MY GOD unbelieveable! Size 10 Size 10!!!!!! Never in my almost 52 years have I worn a size 10. Never. Not even when I was 10 did I wear a 10. The last weight I remember was when I was 11 and I was 183 I'm 179 now another 2 pounds and I join up with the 100 pound club. 29 more and I hit my 150 personal goal. Numbers have never been so important. size 10 hummmmmmm nothing tastes as good as a size10 feels. My 14's had gotten baggy. Even washing in ho****er and drying in the dryer on high didn't make them stay up better. I had promised myself that I wouldn't buy anymore new pants until I was a size 10 but thought well I have no choice I have to present myself in a certain way for my position and baggy butt falling down pants isnt it! I already had jeans in size 12 so I heading right past the "womens" dept over to missy's tried on a few pairs of size 12 dress pants that I was sure made wrong they were too big. Went to another store an the same thing. When I got to kohls I thought well I'll grab a 10 andthey FIT! slightly and I mean slightly snug. Tried on a bunch of them finally picking up 3 different brands in different colors all on sale! ahhhhhhh Usually I will buy my sweaters, shirts, even dresses at goodwill or consignment shops. We lose weight & wardrobs so quickly that I alone can not keep the closet full like it was before. I will say that even tho before when my closet was full at least 1/2of the things in there I didn't wear because they were too small. Sure there is space now but I wear each piece that is hanging! The size 10's have a special spot I am thinking of having a spot light installed to showcase them! Good luck & God bless pam

what a great happy uplifting post!!! Congrats!! ~Nicole

Terrific, Pam! I'm very happy for you! Hey, there's a girl in CT who could use your 14's!!! (Just kidding, take them to the Good Will or Salvation Army but do yourself a favor and PURGE those big ol' clothes from your wardrobe!) Maureen

Congratulations Pam: I was delighted when I reached a size 10 and thought that nothing would change after that. After all I had never been less than a 10. So I set out and bought a new size 10 wardrobe---I am now a size 6!!!!!! Whodda thunk??? I am 57 yo and I see that guys are now looking me over --WOW! Moral of all this -- don't buy too many clothes just yet. Love, Louise 5'7", 231/135 sizes 20/6

I can't even imagine how fantastic that feels!! I am just looking forward to the day I can go into Lane Bryant and nothing fits!! Still have a ways to go - I'm solidly into an 18 now. I'm just so happy that the scale is finally moving again though - I thought after a 2 month plateau I was stuck forever!! -Sherrie
