REACHED 1ST 2 GOALS, WOOOHOOOOO

I just wanted everyone to know that I have reached below my first goal of 220 pounds. I am not 218. and I have reached my first personal goal of fitting into a size 18 pants and size 18 top. Before Kathy K left she gave me a pair of size 18 jeans that she had worn on her way down. by Chance I tried them on and they fit. In fact, I had this dress in my attic that I have been dying to wear for 13 years. I held onto it because I loved it so much and this morning I pulled it out of the attic and its too late. Its too big. I waited too long...lol... What a feeling that is. To be too small for something. Tonight I go clothes shoping for the first time. Everything is just hanging off of me, I have to buy something. For my gift to myself for reaching my personal goal I went out and bought myself some diamond and emerald earrings. I got them at the local pawn shop, what a deal I got. I was told by a state cop once, NEVER...NEVER PAY RETAIL for jewelry. He said you can get the best deals at the pawn shops. I tried it and I like it. For what I would have paid for one item I was able to buy 2 items and Im oohhhhhh so happy. So for my next personal goal I have to reach 199 pounds, and when I do its back to the pawn shop for another bauble for myself. My husband says I deserve it, Im working so hard at loosing weight. He is so proud of me. So ladies, Im doing well. Can finally eat salad. What a delight that is. I just love taco salads. Cant eat much, but who cares. See you all soon I hope (after tax season) Hugs L

Hi, Lauren! Congratulations on reaching those goals! I can relate to your dress episode...I had some spring clothes that I hoped to fit into again after surgery and now that it's warmer out I tried them on and they're too big. I don't remember the last time something was too big on me instead of too small. It's a great feeling. Your post sounds like you're feeling much better emotionally...I'm glad. Enjoy wearing the earrings... make sure you buy something green to wear that goes with them. Hugs, Debby
