Shopping

Thanks you Michele. When I lose a bit more weight, I'll be doing the second hand shop thing too. Right now, my butt is bigger than anything those stores usually have. I've looked from time to time. You're right... it will get better! Cheryl

Cheryl, I had to go bra shopping over the weekend, and that was a dilemma, too! I stood at the bra racks forever thinking, "Geez, I REALLY don't know what size to try!" I ended up taking several different sizes back to the fitting room. I am wearing a 36 now when I used to wear a 42! Woo-hoo! Fortunately, I was an eternal optimist. I never threw out/gave away my clothes from my thinner days, so I have lots of clothes for the "in-between" phase. That way, I can save up my cash for a super-duper shopping trip when I reach goal. The secondhand idea is a good one, too. There really is no point in spending good money on in-between clothes that will be too big in a couple of months. As for your pants....maybe all you need is a good belt!

Jennifer, Bra shopping.... the thought makes me shudder! It's a nightmare trying to find one that fits and is comfortable. I have already been wearing all my stuff that I saved. I weigh less now than I have in 10 years or more and since I moved twice during those 10 years, I weeded out alot. I'll think about the belt idea. I haven't had one that fit in so long, it never occurred to me! Cheryl

Cheryl Cheryl Cheryl, Have I told you how great you look? Wow girl keep it up!

Thank you Melissa. That's always nice to hear.

I went to Walmart to buy some tops and I got two XL tops (Not 1X, 2X or 3X) and they fit really good. I am feeling so normal now. Kathy 235/180/125

You go girl!!! Kathy, you're doing great! You are normal. I'll be in XL tops next time I shop for them, I'm sure. The 1X are getting big. The pants are gonna take a while longer though. My butt is taking a while to go away.
