Shameless horn tootin' right here!!

Today I accomplished one of my first goals that I had set for myself! I BOUGHT A COMPLETE OUTFIT IN A REGULAR SIZED STORE!!!!! I was feeling a little clothing deprived this morning.....I wanted a pair of dark wash jeans to wear to church this evening and didn't have any in a size 20W which is what I'm wearing right now.  I didn't want to pay the Lane Bryant prices and I knew that the Old Navy sizes go up to a 20 but they wouldn't be PLUS sized (Clarksville used to carry plus sizes in their store but they quit and you can only get them on their website now). I figured their 20's  would still be too snug on me but I figured I'd try it anyway thinking i'd either be happy or disgusted when I left.  Well, I left VERY HAPPY!

Not only did the 20's fit but they were loose!!  The 18's fit pretty good!  Not too tight and not baggy in the seat!  I got so giddy in the dressing room that I almost cried!!  I think the last time I was able to buy regular sized jeans was somewhere around the year 2000! I ended up with two pair of jeans and a shirt off the clearance racks, a third pair of regular priced jeans and a top for Gracie and only spent like 75 dollars!   I was floating on air the rest of the day!!   Oh yeah......and I finally blew thru that one pound i've been fighting with for a week now! Yeah me!! 

Feels great doesn't it... Just be careful I spent like $300 whenI found that stuff fit and I wasn't in the fat guy section...

WOOHOO!! Im happy for you especially about your one pound!! hehehe!!  dawn

Is that a picture i see???? LOL

Thanks so much, this shopping trip was such a reinforcement to keep working it!

LOL....i'm saving the big shopping trip for when I hit goal!   My sis had RNY about 5 months before my lapband and she's been handing down her tops and bottoms rather than stuff her closet. NOW, my husband Richard will have his lap band in about 4 weeks (give or take).  I plan on completely re-doing his wardrobe! 

I can't wait to do that too. Great job. Screw Lane Bryant and their expensive prices.

I guess LB thought they had a captive clientele?  I actually had trouble finding things there this last year since they changed their sizing for jeans.  That and their clothes tended to be a little too trendy/flashy for my tastes. Ya know, I bet it won't be that long for you either though!  You're ROCKIN' on the weight loss!

That is awesome... you are doing great. Missy

Thanks Missy, I meant to tell you last week but got too busy jabbering, you look awesome!!!  I barely recognized you!
