Independence Day NSV

I was heading to a pool party for the 4th and needed something to wear. Or, rather, something that fit. I went to the store and for the first time in 15 years I tried on clothes in the 'regular' section. And they FIT. I was so happy I almost burst into tears. I'm down 63 lbs now and my 6 month post op was last week. This was good motivation because my loss is definitely slowing and I'm fighting for every lb. now, even though I'm only 1/2 way to goal.

Congratulations! What a great thrill!
I remember, after I'd lost quite a bit of weight and could wear normal sizes, that I spent an afternoon just walking around my local mall and going into all the stores I'd never bothered to enter before because they didn't sell plus sizes!
