Tiny wow!

Went into catos to hunt for shorts...GW  had none in my size.  Picked up 24's  they were to big....bought the 22 and have room. I don't know how many years it has been since I was in a 22. Made me happy.  I tried in a tank top and ohhhh my what has happend to my arms.  They are disgusting.  No tank tops for me!  Oh well..I can live with short sleeves.  My bathing suits will have to be covered at both ends. Good thing my self esteem is not totally governed by my looks.  It doesn't matter I am sooooooohappy I am loosing weight and feeling better. What do I expect for a 54 year old woman which had been obeise 95 percent of my life.  Can't wait to get to goal.  WLS was the wisest decision I have ever made. Thanks wls family for hearing me out.

Myrtis,   We have to think where we was before, I get SO mad to see my arms too. But I have went from a size 32/34 to a 26 pants and a 22/24 top.... Im loving clothes I have not felt this good snice high school macthing my shoes with my top....lol... I think you are doing such a GREAT job!!! YOu keep up the great work!! God Bless!!

I agree- my arms are awful, but like you I have dropped many sizes in the past few months. I was in a solid 5x of most shirts and now I'm in a 1x. I tried on a 1x (marked 16W) at Walmart the other day and it fit-- talk about a shock!!! It's so crazy.

Congrats on all of your success... its only the start of what is to come! Keep up the good work!

There are no "tiny" wows. We work too hard for every one of them. You're doing great. xoxo Mare

I cant wait until I need new clothes....congrads on the loss......I think i will have to be alittle creative with my bathing suit also....but its going to feel so good not having to carry all this weight around!...~Mary~

Thank you for your support and comments. I am totaly happy!!  I am only 25 pounds from onderland. When I get there I want to celebrate. Can't eat much ....can't drink....But I can dance!!!!  Thanks Myrtis

That is fantastic Myrtis!!!   I also have wings already but I just make fun of them and tell my coworkers..one day they will look out the window (we are on the 3rd floor) and they will see me flying out there.   I try to keep my sense of humor about it all and if ppl don't like it ..there problem.   Now saying that, i will not wear tank tops and prefer the 3/4 sleeves.   Keep up the awesome work!

I am hot natured so I will have to wear short sleeves at least. I think if I get short sleeve light weight shirts and use them like a over shirt the tank will work and air can move around my arms and shoulders. I wore one like that last Sunday.  At the pool I'll have to either keep my arms down or uses a cover up.  i'll deal with it some how. I just glad the numbers are going down. I am only 25 pounds from onderland and can;t wait. Good luck on your progress Myrtis

Great job Myrtis. It will keep getting better and better for sure. You are doing excellent!  Lisa

Good for YOU! Find the clothes to hide the flaws and FLAUNT the rest! Your doing awesome!
