My first WOW moment!
Yesterday my daughter and I went out shopping. I decided to dress up a bit more than i have been since surgery. I put on a pair of pants that were TOO DANG TIGHT a month ago and they were not tight at all, they felt really good on. Then I got brave and tried a top that I have not been able to wear all summer and it fit perfect! Even the shoes felt big on. So, when I was dressed I strutted in the living room where my DH was reading the paper and he looked up and "WOW, you look great and i can tell you're losing weight!" What a great boost for my ego! I'm going to love this new me!

Oh Alice, that's fabulous! Isn't it great to start seeing those kinds of physical changes?
I had the same kind of thing happen to me last night. I was going to a party and trying to figure out what to wear. Since it was so cold I was looking for a nice warm sweater. I decided to be brave and tried on a shirt that was in my "too small for me" pile. Sure enough, it fit perfectly! Yea!
Congrats on your first WOW moment too!
Alice -

VERY cool, Alice! I love re-discovering "old friends" in the closet too! And I am removing items from my closet for the first time! I have NEVER done that! But I know I will not be needing those large sizes again and perhaps they can help someone else on their journey.
Congratulations on a job well done!
