Wow moment
I just have to share. Last night, I had literally 20 minutes free so I decided to go to Macy's and see what I could find on sale. I quickly grabbed a pair of shorts off the rack in the size 8 section that I liked. When I put them on, they buttoned and zipped, but were a little snug -- not too much, but I don't know how much more weight I'll lose at this point, so I decided not to buy them. Anyway, when I was putting them back on the hanger, I noticed that they were actually a size 4, and had been put in the wrong place on the rack. A size 4! I can't believe I actually zipped them up. I started this journey a size 22 (and actually my all-time high was size 24).

How wonderful for you, Kathy! Well done. I know right down to my toes that I will always marvel at being able to shop in "normal" store and find things that fit right off the shelf. I'm 5'2" so I need petites. But most stores don't carry 22 petites. I am truly looking forward to the freedom to think first about what I like and second about whether it will fit. A size 4? Wow!
