that one outfit...

I was reading through the threads and happened upon the wedding dress one.  I have to admit I've tried mine on as well - it fit  :)  I have my one outfit though that someday I will get into.  Before I got married the first time and was actually in some sort of shape, I used to go country dancing every night.  I had a suede skirt that I used to wear that I loved.  I've saved that goofy thing all these many 25+ years...  I think it's about a 14.... I'm in between a 16 and 18...  Maybe I can go dancing this summer  :) Does anyone else have anything like that that they have saved?  Or am I the only dork!?  lol Lori Duluth

Hey Lori - you are not the only dork...I'll say most of us are probably! I had some favorite jeans that I was waiting to get into...but I temporarily forgot about them, and I blew by them in size!  By the time I remembered they were in the closet, they were too big!  I also ran into the fact that some of the clothes I had saved were either out of style (from being in the closet so long) or just icky and thought...I don't need to wear icky clothes anymore because that's the only thing that fits.... You'll find many scenerios while sliding down the scale!  Have fun!

RE: the icky clothes. OMG Yes!  lol  I don't need paisley...  I don't need double knit...  I don't need BLACK!  ok sometimes I choose it but I now have a CHOICE! sitting here in my hot pink workout shorts and mens a-cut t-shirt that I used as an embroidery template  lol Lori

It's been so long since I was this size that I don't have anything left in my closet that would have fit.   I do have my wedding dress and I'm going to try that on sometime this week and will post pictures.  I was a size 24 the day I was married and today I'm in a 10-12 so that will be fun to try that on.

hmm... *wanders over to the closet* must be in the same bag as the skirt...  I'll really have to dog that bag out today  :) Sounds like you could fit a couple of you in it now!  Great job!! Lori

My dream outfit was a wrap around long sarong low on my hips with a baby tshirt or tank top. MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Its a blast..... your doing great!

I finally tossed all of my too small but hoping to fit back into someday clothes about 6 months before my surgery, figuring that they would be WAY out of style now anyway. but my dream outfit is going to be a pair of shorts and spagetti strap tank top. I know it sounds silly but I haven't worn shorts in about 10 years.

Hey GF!!! No you are not a dork!  I had that outfit also.....now it's WAY too big and gone..... but MAN does it feel good to reach it!!  You are soo close to it also! WOOT WOOT!!!  We want pics when ya do get into again!! Sorry I didn't get to talk to you more this past weekend!  You need to up date your avatar and you are MORE beautiful then that pic!!!!   Hugs and Love!

ok I'll make hubby dig out the camera when that time comes.... used to have the cowboy hat too... hmm  lol  never did have boots though.  well gee! ans thanks  :)  I need my 4 month pics taken anyways so maybe something will work from there!  I just so hate having my pic taken!  and it's not a weight thing... I just hate it!  Can't keep my eyes open and when I do something else is messed up!  I always look stupid  hehe  *shrug* Keep up the great work GF!!  and we will get a chance to chatter soonish!

I saved a pair of Levi's that haven't fit in over 10 years and put them on the other day and they fit!. The only problem is that they are so out of style. Yikes, but it was fun to get them on.
