Well, a couple of weeks ago, I bought some tops at the Dress Barn on clearance.  I decided that X-large would not fit for much longer, so I bought size Large in some tops.  Well, this morning as I was getting dressed for work, I decided to try on one of these pretty new items.... and it FIT!!!!!  Let's just say that the scale is my enemy right now, but the measuring tape is best friend.

Congratulations.....you found the secret.  Forget all about the scale. The one at the doctor's office will be different anyway. But that tape measure.  Now that is the truth teller.
Regards and hugs,

scales lie. I started a new exercise program ( I was already working out) that incorporated some new moves, and with out dropping an ounce over a period of about 2 months I dropped a pants size.  You know it is time to buy new pants when you can take off your old ones with out undoing  the buttons or zipper. What is important is not the number on the scale, but the fact that  you are getting healthier.

Wendi that is great!!!!  I hope you didn't look on the floor for the X, I did when I got my LARGE jacket!  I swear I won't ever be allowed in to JC Pennies in Orland anymore after that one :)

Wendi!  Good for you!!!!  I can't even imagine going into a store at this point and buying "regular" sized clothes.... I still feel like I'm buying tents or tarps!   But... it's only been three weeks since surgery for me!   Keep up the good work!!!  You should be very proud!!!

Hooray for you!!!!!   I KNOW that it feels great! Keep up the good work and try not to let that crappy scale get to you.  I won't if you won't.......

 

Tell someone that you love them!

Congrats Wendi!  It is such a nice feeling to be able to purchase clothing in a smaller size and find you have undergrown to fit it. WooHoo!
