I Got The WLS Discount!!!

Hi Everyone: It's two weeks away from ny one year anniversary and I'm feeling tremendeous today. It's Labor Day weekend and the weather here in New Jersey will be just perfect so I plan on just enjoying it. I'm still holding at 190 pounds today but me weight bounces between 195 and 190 depending on my level of activity during the week. I'm maintaining my five day a week workout schedule and have settled into my maintenance lifestyle. I did treat myself to two new siuts this week since my "old" suits bought last December were just too big. I'm now wearing a 42 Regular, down from a 50 Regular. The same salesman who sold me the 50's was really impressed with my weight loss and he even gave me an extra 10% off. I guess I got the WLS discount (LOL). Wishing everyone a safe and happy holiday. To the people in Florida, heed the warnings and stay safe. Remember possessions can be replaced but a life can't be replaced. Till next time. Jesse 373/190/-183

Jesse, Always enjoy reading your weekly posts. Congratulations on that discount and the wonderful smaller size - you've definitely earned it. I know I so enjoy shopping these days - something I used to dread in the past. Have been taking advantage of great sales and am building a nice fall/winter wardrobe. Am afraid to take advantage of end of summer sales for next season as knowing me will probably buy the wrong size (too big, not too small). Patti

Patti, I *so* enjoy clothes shopping these days. It's such a problem, really. I very well might have found a new addiction! Before my surgery, of course, shopping was difficult because I could never find anything that fit. Now, I'm running into other problems: At times, it's still hard to find my size (lots of stores only carry a few size 4s and 6s, and 8 is such a popular size it's often gone quick) and now, since so much of what I bring into the fitting room fits -- and looks good -- I have to make decisions on what to buy based on other factors. It's actually a really hard adjustment. In recent weeks, I've been trying to focus on building a fall/winter wardrobe, since I basically had no cold weather clothes that fit. After hitting a bunch of sales this past weekend, I'm definitely ready for the cold weather. Now, if only I could get somebody to give me a weight-loss discount...
