Clothes and emotions!

Hi Everyone... Well... I did it... I hit a little goal... I went shopping on Saturday...and grabbed a pair of size 16 REGULAR sized pants from the rack...and tried them on... I pulled them on, buttoned and zipped them up and they were LOOSE!!! I said to myself...dare I try... I grabbed a size 14 pants... and pulled them on, buttoned them (with a little sucking in of my gut) and zipped them up!!! I also tried on a regular Large sweater...and it fit me perfectly!!! I sat in the dressing room and cried for 15 minutes...I was sooo overwhelmed and happy all at the same time! I bought those size 14 pants...and will wear them proud...until I hit the 12 and 10's... What a crazy 5 months it has been!!! My life will never be the same again...and I am soooo happy to say that!!!

Way to go Joann. I know that same feeling. I cried in the Gap once when I lost enough weight to get into a 16. It is such a rush of emotions. Congratulations!!! Maggie

What a wonderful feeling for you. Only 5 months out? WOW You have me thristing for that 5 month date! It will be 2 weeks for my surgery tomorrow and I was thrilled when I was able to put on a smallersize bra! Good luck and god bless
