depafting ceremony for size 22 and 20's

finally held a departing ceremony today  for my size 22 and 20's.  My biggest clothes were finally TOO big.  YAY!   Love shrinking out of my clothes (whereas I used to grow out of them before joining the bandsters).......I donated all of my "too big" clothes to a women's shelter. 

Congratulations!! I went out to dinner with my husband last night. When I went to get dressed, all of my pants were way too big!! What a change that is!! Usually, I would hold my breath, praying that they would zipper. Smaller sizes for spring. YAY!!

congratulations! I was happy to get out of the size 20 pants & jeans, too which I felt like I had been wearing them for a very long time. Before you know it, you will be too small to shop in the plus sized departments

Thank you. Yes it is a wonderful feeling to finally leave behind the 20-somethings.  And also great that jeans fit like they're supposed to and not cut off my circulation at the middle! 

Awesome!!

Good for you!!! That has to be a wonderful feeling!

Yes indeed.  Isn't it awesome that we can help others while helping ourselves.  I'm 4 weeks post op this Thursday, and getting my first fill next Monday, flouroscopy.  Im kind of nervous, but looking forward to a little more restriction.  Now that I've been on soft/mushy for 5 days, it feels like I can eat anyhting, but I'm being careful and watching my small meal portions.  Have you experienced this? 

I donated a lot of my clothes to a women's shelter early on, but last fall reconnected with a high school friend I hadn't seen in over 40 years.  She has lost some weight since then so last week I shipped her a huge box of all of my business casual and business dressy clothes and shoes...she is financially in a bad place, so really appreciated the "new stuff".   I sent everything that was size 20 and up...now I have so much room in my closets and dressers and she has a whole new wardrobe!

Isn't is awesome that we can help others while helping ourselves.  Keep up the good work and keep on paying it forward with the clothing give away.  It feels great.
