Child let loose in Candy Store

Went on a little shopping spree yesterday for clothes and I had alot of fun....who would have guessed it.  I am still at a size 18 pants and XL tops.  That is excellent for where I began...size 26 pants and 3X tops. My husband had a good chuckle seeing me. He said I looked like a child who was let loose in a candy store. I tried so so so many outfits and had to cut my selection down twice in order not too over do it.  I apparently had a smile brimming from side to side. Who would have thought that one day I had too much new clothes to choose from. I will be having difficulty with pants as I carry most of my weight in my thighs and buttucks. My waist is so much smaller and my upperbody too than my lower body. I am built like a pear. So many pants are too tight in the thighs and too big in the waist. Not a little, I mean like five inches too big. Thankgod I can do alterations.   I am hoping that difference will diminish with a few more pounds gone. 
It was funny to look at my body in a full length mirror. I am noticing where the skin is now becoming flabby and loose. My breasts have gone south bigtime and after trying on twenty plus bras I was able to find two that fit ok.  I never had skin issues up until now so I guess I too will have to deal with wrinklely flabby skin on my arms, thighs and tummy. It is all better than being obese.  It was also quite a revelation to really and I mean really see the weight loss. I knew I was smaller but never really saw it.  Hopefully the mind is also catching up with the body. 
All in all I had a great day shopping!

That is just an amazing story Brenda. To be able to go and shop and find too much stuff is like a dream of mine. I just get content with what fits and it ends there. It's also great to make the connection that hey, I really lost a lot of weight and it shows. For me, a couple of years back I had lost close to 80 pounds and I still didn't see it. The only proof I had was on pictures. Talking about that, I'm going to post them now for motivation.

OOOOOH I love this story!!! Clothes are as exciting but less fatening than candies!!!  I am also 26 bottoms and 3-4 XL on top...I cannot imagine when I'll be able to wear XL and shop in normal stores... I also have the same problem, the pear shape... And I am losing way more in the upperbody for now... As for the breasts... oh my god, I can already see that I will need a serious lift on those...   I don't know how I will be able to stop myself in the stores, because now my limmit was: I buy what fits, and I didn't have so much choices... How to decide??? Shopping trips will be very looong!!!!!

I am so glad for you... keep looking at your new body, and send us pictures in your new outfits!!!

So much fun! I need to go to Paris in May and I'm hoping I'll be down a couple of sizes, for all my trips there I have never been able to shop for anything but shoes and purses!!

So glad you had fun on your shopping trip, it for sure will not be your last!
