OMG! Onderland!

You're not a loser, Aliya, you're my friend and I luff ya!

Thanks, Kathy! Personally, I think it was all the Onderland vibes you were shooting my way the other day! I can't tell you how silly I feel about the anxiety of shopping in regular clothing. I swear I need therapy, I'm getting anxious right now thinking about it while I'm sitting at my computer. Geez, I'm a weenie...

Congrats Becky! That's great! I'm slowly coming up right behind you. I actually bought a top that was an 18/20 the other day and I couldn't believe it fit! So I can only imagine your excitement! Diane

Thanks, Diane! Isn't the weirdest feeling in the world to buy SMALLER sizes for once?

Becky!!! I just got on this board and yours was the first one I read because the excitement was hollering out to me!! I am so happy for you!! I was just telling someone at work last night that I have 34 pounds to go be in the Onderlands!!! I am gonna stand and do the "Happy my buddy got in the Onderland Dance!!!!"

Thanks, Lisa! I'm right with you! And we'll keep until you reach the Onderland too!

Congrats Becky The next size down is 14W and I loved what you said about going shoping and feeling like you were trespassing. I went into JC Penny's and spent 5 hours in the store I kept walking back to the plus section to my comfort zone. The ladies today wear the jeans at the hips and I hate that gosh we did that in the 70's. When I tried stuff on like that I just couldn't get use to that feeling. Of course the statement above is for us older gals... LOL Becky I feel the same way you do so it is a comfort knowing there are others out there that feel just like us. Again congrats and welcome to the onederland.... Cheryl

Thanks, Cheryl! I wasn't sure if there WAS a 14w... What's that say about how out-of-touch I've been? I hate the low-rider jeans, too. I carry much of my excess weight in my stomach so I need something to come and OVER that belly!

Congrats Becky, You deserve it. I know the crying feeling. I had it Friday when I was under 300. It is an awesome feeling. Keep up the loss. Hugs, Kat

Thanks, Kat! Isn't it funny how tied we are to those numbers? I swear I've cried more LOSING weight in the last 4.5 months than I even did GAINING the weight!
