reached one of my goals already

Hi everyone,
Just wanted to post here that today, I was able to buy a pair of pants that were NOT in the plus-size section. My daughter and I were out shopping and we went to Target. I have cleaned out my closet twice already and I only have about 4 pairs of pants that fit. I dared to pick out a pair of 18's that were in the regular women's section, NOT in the plus-size section and they were actually too big, so I bought a 16 instead. This was one of my early goals that I have reached, and I am very excited about it. The next clothing goal is to be out of the "teens" altogether and get down to a 12 at least. 
I am tolerating foods now, but still in very small portions. Have not been cleared to get to the pool yet, but may go next Monday anyway. I am going back to work this week, and am feeling really good. Lots of energy back, am sleeping, not so tired during the day, walking more and ready for some more exercise. 
I never thought I would reach this point of feeling better, but it does happen. Still choking down protein shakes, but they are getting better. Had a monstrous, MONSTROUS bm today and I am still feeling the effects of that one. Sorry, TMI?? 
Just wanted to jot down about my good day and hope that the rest of you are having a good day, that some of you are healing, that some of you are looking forward to the surgery, that some of you are maintaining. Well wishes to all!

Now that is a wonderful Wow moment! I remember how good it feels! You will be in that size 12 before you know it. You are going to have many, many  more wow moments. (I can relate to the BM too! LOL)

 Thank you and congrats on reaching goal!! That is awesome!
