WOW..New ring size!!! New Jogging suit....

I've been wearing my wedding ring on my index finger for a few months now...waiting as long as possible to get it sized. For Valentines day, we went to the jewler to get it sized. My ring was a 7 1/2..... my NEW ring size is a FOUR!!!! a FOUR!!! Can you believe that?!?! In high school my class ring was a 5 1/2..... I just can't believe it!!! THEN I went to Target to get a new jogging suit... something to wear to EXERCISE in... I picked up the large pants and held them up to me... NO WAY...too big. I picked up the medium pants and held them up to me... OMG??? too big??? I thought "No freakin way...." I picked up the small... I thought OMG these look like they will fit. THEY DID!!!!!!! I can NOT believe that I (me!!) can wear a size SMALL pants! I just can't believe this is me... is this all going to be taken away? Am I going to wake up and be right back the way I was? Is this for REAL? Do you ever just want to tell someone (ANYONE) about your WOW moments...and get scared to tell anyone because you don't want to sound like a braggard? or sound VAIN? I'm just so psyched and shocked and blown away....and just blown away....and can't believe it. I was telling one of my friends and then I felt stupid because I wondered if I was coming off as a show off or something.... does anyone else get all mixed up inside about this stuff? Pam

THAT is too cool to have a smaller ring size then HS! AND to fit smalls! YOUR another JUNEBUG SKINNY GAL!!! congratulations on all your success you soooo deserve it. I am sooo glad of all your WOW moments and please never stop shareing with us!!! ITS motivating to all of us! and we all truly understand the joy you experience when such happens! ALL the best lisa

Pam, I know what you mean.........I think you people at my new job think of me like someone with a new baby, you know those folks that can only talk about the new baby, LOL. I'm not quite that bad, but the problem is I had the surgery before I started working there so even tho I've lost about 20 pounds since then they didn't know me at my heaviest. I know they are tired of me talking about it, LOL And to tell the truth I love visiting my old job because they just fawn all over me, talk about being vain HW 250 SW235 CW 170 GW 150/160?????

Brag and be vain all you want. You deserve it!!!!!!! OMGosh look at all you have gone through to get to this point. BRAG BRAG and then Brag somemore. Makes you feel proud to have accomplished this weight loss. We are not really bragging or being vain we are all just in total shock and ah of what has happened to us. We are just trying to share and if it comes off as vain or bragging well just dismiss it because they have not walked in our shoes and do not know where we are coming from, all the troubles and problems we had and to over come it all Well.................need I say more. Congratulations you deserve it all!!! Deloris

Pam, WOW that is just awesome hun I know that has to feel just great! Sometimes I still can not believe my new size as well but I guess in time it will sink in. I can not wear any rings but my wedding band and now that is starting to fall off but I am holding out as long as I can and then I guess I will move it to the middle finger but I really hate to do that but I do not want to lose my band. Someone also told me that it means your anti-marriage if you wear it there? Has anyone heard of that????? Well congrats again hun.....I love to tell people as well. I am proud of what I have done to change my life and you should also. ~hugs~ Debra P

No Pam you are not being vain at all. You do deserve to feel good about yourself. Haven't we all spent too much time hating ourselves and wasting time wishing we were somebody else? If noone else knows what you are feeling, I know we do. Even with my psychological issues surrounding this losing, I still LOVE to buy pretty clothes now. I love the smaller sizes, and I love the smaller number on the scale. I will work everything else out, I don't want you to feel guilty for one minute! Yes, I feel conflicted too about people thinking I am bragging and I try to not ask if I look better too often, but I still feel 400 lbs sometimes and need reassurance. My kids and I were watching old home videos the other night and boy was I big. I asked them 100 times if I looked better now and could not believe them. They finally got mad at me and told me to stop asking, LOL! But the truth is we do look and feel better and deserve it! Brag on! Wendy

Wow Pam!!! That is so awesome!!! I am so happy for you and no you are not bragging, you silly. Being able to come here and share those moments is why we are here. Hugs and a BIG CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!! Jo
