Oh to be 18 again! (xpost)
So uh, yeah this morning I posted a rant about the way my clothes fit and my belly being stubborn among other things.
Well I had gone to Goodwill and found 3 pairs of pants - 1 size 20 and 2 18s. I took em home, put em on (My clown pants are 22s) - well the 20 went on easy and I wore them yesterday, but they were cut for some very strange 20 because the crotch hung really low and they felt all weird, if I had pulled them up I could have tucked the waist into my bra (and then had major highwaters).
The 18s went on, but were so tight around my flabolicious belly that I think I gave myself carpet burn tryin to get them OFF again. They went in the closet for "later"
So this morning I hit Cato, determined not to look like I just climbed out of a volkswagen with 25 other clowns, and started raiding the clearance rack. $7.99 pants - ok thats not bad. Well I pulled out two size 20s and took them into the dressing room. Hmm, stil way loose in the thighs and butt, but the rest was ok.
I figured what the hell - went out and got two 18s.... and OH MY GOD, they fit! I wore one pair right out of the store, I felt great all day, amazing! 18s! WOO IM OUT OF THE 20s!
Hope they still fit after I wash them... LOL I'm skeered!
I cannot BELIEVE how good I feel every single stinkin day when I see one of these little moments.Something so many people would take for granted. Loooooooooooooooooooooooove my RNY!

Congrats Lexi!
Don't you wish you could bottle this feeling? I was just telling the nurse at my bariatric clinic today that I almost feel like I have a constant high! :) She smiled & said, don't let the word out, or they'll be knocking down our door!
I don't ever want to forget how this feels. I don't want to forget how it felt to me MO, and I don't want to forget how it feels now that I'm losing the weight.

It is such a wonderful feeling buying new pants when the size keeps going down.... I remember when the 26's finally fit WOW I was in tears, before I knew it my butt was in 10's , keep up the great work !!!!!
My Lane Bryany credit card is lonley now, I keep getting coupons for great deals from them heeeheee it is so good to just throw the coupons in the trash, because I can't use the plus size store anymore, I am thnakful for Lane Bryant because they do have fashions for the larger woman .
Congrads Woman, I bet you will be in a 16 by my birthday ( March 4th ) ... let me know if you are :)

Lexi_K,
Way to go!!
I've been wearing stretch pants and sweatpants for the last little while because my weight had been going up, up, up!! I started a liquid diet in preperation for surgery and have lost almost 30 lbs. I got a pair of jeans that had been too small (men's size 50) out of my closet and I can now squeeze into them!! If I ever get into something under a 20....OMG!! You'll hear a party in the streets!!
Congrats to you!! and Keep up the good work!!
Kelly :) Down 65.6 lbs WITHOUT surgery!! 
This diet ticker is of my overall weightloss since 2/16/08.
Good for you Lexi,
I bought a pair of 22 pants today and they are still in the bag LOL
I am afraid to put them on LOL crazy I know but I guess I have had alot of disapointment with clothes before I get nervous of the thought they might be to big.
I will send up the red flag when I put them on.
To wear a 18 I hope that will be a pipe dream that will be here soon.
