I've been wearing the same clothes since before surgery. I always hated shopping... I'm sure any woman that was pushing so close to 400 lbs would. I struggled to find clothes. I mean even in the really big section, way at the back, I'd occasionally find a 4 or 5x that would look passable.

I went to Addition-elle today and told them how much weight I'd lost. My size 26 jeans were drooping pathetically off of me, the hems now drag to the floor a bit as if my legs, too, have shrunk. The store was dead and the girls had a field day. They called me their barbie and had a great time measuring me for bras, dresses, etc. 20!! I'm a size fricking TWENTY! Now.. this is a plus sized 20, but it took me putting on 4 dresses to believe it. I'm not sure I really do. It made my day.

A size 10 still seems like an impossible goal, isn't that weird? I still can't believe that 2x dresses fit me!

It's an amazing feeling isn't it? Good for you. It's only going to get better and smaller from here :)

I fell in love with one of the dresses and brought it home, but it was a 3x and looking at it again? It's too big and other than the function I bought it for, I'll never be able to wear it again. I'm going to exchange it tomorrow and get a smaller one. It's still so unreal to me.

I love this story. Congratulations on the fantastic NSV. Next time you do this, it won't be in a plus size store.

I have NO idea where I'd even go for clothes! I've only shopped for plus size clothes, I've been heavy my entire adult life. I may have an anxiety attack going into a "skinny girl" clothes store, lol

Shopping has been a joy for me now that I can fit into so many nice clothes. My problem now is I need to stop shopping. LOL
