OMG OMG!!!! A HUGE WOW FOR ME!

So...I went with friends to Rehobeth, DE for a few days and we LOVE to shop at the outlets.  I knew that I was smaller than before I went to Israel when I bought size 20 clothes - which was already exciting btw, so I tried on two pair of size 18 shorts that were still to small - couldn't even get them to zip - so I was a bit disappointed.

Then I walked in to Anne Taylor with my friends - who are both thin, and I saw they had XL shirts - so I thought, well, I am smaller up top than in my belly and hips, so I will give it a try.....The shirts not only fit, THEY WERE PERFECT!!!!  (And $6.99 each also)  I couldn't belive I was finally shopping in a "regular" store - and Anne Taylor for that matter - It was awesome!!!!  I then bought another shirt at another regular store....OMG!  This is sooooo exciting!  I know you all said it would be - but WOW!!!!!

I can't wait to get on the scale tomorrow at Barix - I haven't been on one since June.  (Well, to be honest, I got on the luggage scale at the airport in Israel and then I had to convert it to pounds from kg.)  I think that was just a funny thing to do - getting on the luggage scale at the airport, so I didn't really know if it was accurate, I was too busy laughing and trying to explain in English to the girl what I was doing - I think she was entertained, becuase when she saw me later - she just started to laugh again! :)

Anyway - that is it for me!  And sorry that I have not been checking in as I did not have access to the internet while I was away - I am starting to get over my withdrawal from facebook! :)

Hope to see many of you tomorrow at Barix! :)

Whooo hooo for Anne Taylor!!  And don't worry about those 18's - you'll be to SMALL for them in NOOOOOO time!!

Congrats!!!

Steffi,
That is a huge WOW!! and Pam is right you will be in size 18's probably by next 2 weeks. lol. I am serious you will be too small for those 18's. Be proud of yourself as you have done an AMAZING Job so far. Can't wait to catch up tomorrow. Take Care:)

you're right that is freakin' fantastic!!! I was in and out of 18's in a matter of a week or two

I'm going to Rehoboth next Sunday and plan to hit the outlets for me and Siehara--she needs school clothes desperately.

I can't wait to see you and everyone else tomorrow!!!

Congrats on your WOW!!

I keep seeing almost everyone talking about meeting at a group. Where and when does it take place? Susie H

Hi Susie - it takes place at the Barix Clinic in Langhorne, PA - today starting at noon!  Would love to meet you there!

Steffi,

Wish i was going to be at support group tomorrow so i could give you a big HUG... but I can't, so this will have to do for now.  Congratulations!  It truly is an awesome feeling and one you should savor!

See you soon, i hope!  (you going to Liz's?  or Support meeting on Wed night?)
