WOW clothing moment

I remember being morbidly obese and looking through the fashion magazines and ""wish-shopping"", knowing that I could never wear those fashions, no matter how much I liked them.....It was sort of a sorry little past-time of mine....wishful thinking, ...like window shopping...but a little sad and wistful....well, last month I was doing it again, looking through magazines, picking out the "perfect " outfits, just for the fun of it....There was this one wrap dress that I really loved.....and guess what????I bought it today, at Kohl's . on sale....Size L, not even the largest size they had...It is Sexy, and it means something very special to me....It is like walking through the looking glass, from the land of "wishful thinking", to the land of "make it happen"...It is actually the very same dress from the magazine, the very same dress I admired last month....Now, I certainly know that the best things about WLS are those other changes, ,,,like how much I am able to do with the kids, and how I have no more sleep apnea, or how my blood pressure has gone down....But I will honestly say that being able to buy a ""wishful thinking" dress I first admired in a magazine is pretty cool ....I am looking forward to wearing it.....I have just the right heels to go with it...lol

Hooray for you, Dorota!!! This is one cool moment! Is it one of those Diane Von Furstenburg wrap dresses with the print like from the 70's? I LOVE those! Cool! When you wear it, be sure to take a pix and share it with us! I'm proud of you for going through that wish and making it happen! paula

It is a very funky dress....I will take pix....and post them soon.....it really made me happy.....Not wistful and sad like I used to get ""picking out"" the outfits I liked from those magazines.... You coming to the post-op meeting on Monday??

Hi Dorota, So glad so many wishes have come true for you . The hard work you have put into your "Journey" is definitly paying off for you. Bless You! Have a Great Day!

Thank you Julio.....They Journey is a difficult one, but so well worth it....You have been an inspiration t me, and I thank you for that.......Have a wonderful sunday

Dorota! Good going for you! Can't wait to see the pictures!!!! I wore my first pair of cammie pants yesterday to a party. ALWAYS wanted a pair, could never fit into them......voila. ;) Have a great Sunday!

Hi Dorota... That is SUCH an awesome feeling, isn't it?!?! Good for you!! I actually had a very similar WOW moment myself yesterday... I went to Old Navy for the first time in a L O N G time. Now, the last time I bought a pair of pants there, they were a size 20. Well... I went into the dressing room with a pair of size 10 pants, TOO BIG! So I went back to the rack and grabbed some size 8.... and they FIT!!! Not snugly, either... they fit WITH ROOM TO MOVE. I was absolutely THRILLED. I have NEVER bought a pair of single-digit pants... EVER. So yah... little WOW moments, make it all worth while!!! -CJ 250/153/140

You go girl! What a great feeling you must have. Keep up the good work. You deserve every minute. Have a healthy and happy Sunday.

Dorota - This is such an inspiring post! I am so very happy for you - you strut your stuff in that dress - I bet you look beautiful!! Congratulations on a WOW NSV!!!! Best Regards, Tammy
