Skinny clothes and WOW!

How many of you have a stash of smaller sized clothes you couldn't let go of, in hopes you'd be that size again?

Yesterday I went through the boxes of clothes in the attic to find the nezt size down. THere were some weird realizations and a WOW.  I found old jeans size 26 which I can barely button- I am purchasing size 24 now and they're loose. Have sizes grown in the past years? Who knows. Sizes are so different from brand to brand.

The WOW is that 4 years ago I got down to the 260's. I bought some dress pants at Lane Bryant- size 22.  I unpacked them. Tried them on this morning.  THEY FIT!!!!!

So I know what I'm wearing to the ordination. Black dress pants, white top and fall colored cardigan!.

It's 9AM- in less than 24 hours I will be checking in to EMMC !!!!

I had a huge stash......some of the fashion was definately questionable now.....but sizes are different now and so inconsistent - drives me crazy.

Not long now - sheesh - you should just check into Riverside for the night - you won't be very far from there going to the ordination!!!

Look forward to meeting you this afternoon.

oh, yes, I had several bags of them, some from HS, everytime I lost weight and gainned it back I started a new bag, I finally realized, I was hanging on to just hopes and brought them all to Goodwil a few years ago, before I considered wls.  Hell, I'm just gonna have to go shopping now and get "NEW STUFF"  I'll deserve it, if I ever get there.  Look at you reaching those milestones and you havn't even has wls yet.  boy, can you imagine another month and you'll be pulling out more stuff from the attic.

I'll be thinking of you all day tomorrow, and please, hurry back and let us know how your doing. we'll be waiting to hear from you.  See you later today.

I never kept any of my smaller sizes because, well, basically, there NEVER were any!!!!  For years, I've been big and always bought stuff that was big enough.  So.....All new/recycled stuff for me now!  It's a great feeling though!   CONGRATS!

I'll be thinking about you tomorrow!  Your day is here!!!!

Can't wait to meet more of you later today!!!!!!!!!!

WOW for you and you are PRE-SURGERY!!!! 
Congratulations and please give Terri my best ~ wish I could go to her Ordination.
