My wow moment!!!

I just had to share one of the most amazing moments I've had in a long time with all my OH friends. I have been frustrated the past week or so because I had hit a weight-loss plateau or so I thought. I have been stuck at 205ish for over a week and thought I must be doing something wrong. But I kept doing my workouts and eating the same as my doctor "prescribed" so I was so frustrated. I just wanted to make it to One-derland. But I kept noticing my clothes were "STRETCHED OUT". It was coming up on Easter and I wanted to get a new dress for church. So I went to Goodwill in search of the perfect "Size 20 dress".....Much to my amazement...WOW I found the perfect Size 14 dress that was almost too big!!!

I haven't worn size 14 since I was in high school. Talk about jawdropping!!! I was so giddy that I actually went and tried on several pairs of jeans and shorts and shirts....and they all fit!!! I was so happy I got them all. So I basically got a whole new wardrobe because my size 22-24 clothes just seem to fall off now.

I am so grateful to everyone here for all of the support. I'm usually just a lurker but I had to share this. I feel like a teenager again...and I'm starting to look like one! Thanks everyone for your kind words. I hope everyone can have wow moments like mine.

You must have been pinning those size 22s on if you are now wearing a 14.  Good for you.  I know you must be so excited.  I love shopping but I hate when I grown out/under ??? the clothes.  I mean, it is great to get smaller but I am going through clothes like their cheap or something.  I haven't really found a thrift store that I like.
