My 1st NSV

It has been 12 weeks since my surgery and I have been doing great.  I have to admit there are some days when I get a bit down because I just don't enjoy eating as much as I used to.  I have lost about 50 lbs so I am happy.  50lbs more to go! 
But...yesterday I was in Old Navy with my sister and they had some great sales on.  They had some really cute spring jackets on sale for $12.00 and I grabbed a hanger which was marked as a 2X.  I tried on the coat and it fit perfectly.  As I was taking it off, I noticed the tag in the jacket said XL!!  I couldn't believe it.  I almost started crying.  I though that maybe it was mismarked so I grabbed a very cute jean jacket in XL and tried it on.  It fit as well!  I was astounded.  I walked out of the store with both!  I had to force myself to leave the store or I would have bought much more.  I am SO excited.  This surgery has opened up a whole new world for me and I couldn't be more thankful!

 That is so awesome!
I don't fit anything in old navy except the occasional mens xxl stuff. 
Also, 50lbs in 12 weeks?! That seems to be above the norm, great job!!

 Way to go! What a great NSV!

Oh Giselle! That is so wonderful to hear.  Thank you for sharing your story.  I dream of that day and I know it will happen some day where I can go into a "regular" clothing store and buy something that isn't plus sized. 

As everyone knows, being overweight it can be hard to buy clothes and you rarely see great deals like $12.00 for a jacket.  The cheapest I ever bought a piece of clothing was about $29 because of my clothing size. I can't wait to buy inexpensive, yet nice clothing.

You must be so proud of yourself.  I am proud for you.  Congratulations!

Congrats girl and I'm smiling cause I know exactly how you feel. It's amazing to feel like your "normal". Cheers to more NSV.
