I had to go to buy some new shirts and pants for work today. I had purchased a smaller pair a couple of weeks before surgery, because all my pants were falling down. I tried my pants on today, and they were huge! All my dress shirts just bagged on me.

I went to Catherine's in Burnsville, and started off my getting a size smaller pants. Since I started losing weight in October, I'm down 2 of their right fit pant sizes (28 down to 24). It was the shirts that blew my mind though. I usually wear a 3X and occasionally on the narrower clothes, I wear a 4X. Today I grabbed all 2X shirts to try on, and only 1 fit. I had to go down to a 1X!! The last time I could even get into a 2X was 15 years ago when I was in college. I also got fitted for a new bra, my band size is down 4 sizes.

I just had to share my totally Wow day!
