I got an XL shirt today!!!

I went shopping on my lunch time today and tried on some clothes. The XL shirt I tried on fit! I know you all know the significance of that. XL's are not in the plus size section of the store! Yippee! I am feeling great today. Linda Vicory

Yeah! Shopping suddenly becomes fun doesn't it? I always hated buying new clothes becasue even it they looked good on the hanger, I could never get them to look as good on me. I still find it hard to look at the smaller sizes, my brain hasn't accepted the fact that I don't need that 2x or 3x anymore and I'm surprised and thrilled when I put on a pair of 16's and they fit! I still have 50 more I'd like to lose and it is getting harder and harder to do after 15 months out but I'm determined to do it!

I know what you mean about looking at something and thinking there is no way I will fit into that. I am wearing a size L in shirts and 12 in pants and I am so shocked when I can actually pull them off the shelf and they fit. I have 28 lbs to go to reach my goal and the pounds are coming off slowly now. Bonnie

Linda congratulations. I absolutely know how that feels to be able to fit in an XL shirt. I went from a 2X and the first time I put on an XL I thought it must be miss marked. Now I can fit in a Med comfortably. It's funny though i still catch myself going to the plus size clothing just to browse.. Why? i don't know but it sure feels good knowing I no longer have to shop for those sizes..Keep up the good work.. You are doing GREAT!!!!! Dawn R

Gail You are doing awesome. I hope to get to see you Sat, I hope I recognize you. You need to get a new pic...of your new skinny self. Im so proud of you!!! Linda, Congrats on the XL. I know its exciting each time we go down a size

Linda, I know how excited you are, welcome to "normal sizes". Having worked retail before, nothing feels better than slipping on something and finding you need a smaller size! Each time I tired on clothes I gravitated to the plus sizes, cause it was all I knew. Now you/I can go into any store and find things that fit~~WOO~HOO~ go girl!!! See you at the Exchange.
