Huh?!!

I was at Costco today. As is now my habit, I was checking out the shirts. I saw some that I thought might be what I was looking for. But, they looked like they ran a little smaller than their stated size. While I was holding one up, a lady next to me asked if I thought they were small. She was an average sized woman. I said I thought they might be but was going to try one on. As long as I have someone with me to hold down my other shirt, I will try one on over it. When I got it on, the sizing seemed about right. So, I told her that. Plus, it went a little longer than most other shirts that like to show your belly. That is a good thing. So, her interest is peaked again and she slips one on. Then she said that it must just be her. After all, I am petite. Well, my mouth feel open and I just staired at her. I guess my silence made her uncomfortable from her expression. It took a good 30 seconds for my reply. And, then all I could say was that it had been years since anyone had thought of me as petite. Of course she didn't know what I was talking about and hurried away because she thought I was a nut. I may have to change my name. I don't think I am a hat hiding in a box any longer. Any suggestions? My 5 month anniversary was this last week. My goal was to hit 150 by the end of the year. All was going well until this last month. My weight loss became irregular. Then two weeks ago, I came to a stand still. And, last week I GAINED a pound. Now, that really sucks. I am battleing the same two pounds. I decided to cut carbs back out of my diet. DH is thrilled. He wanted me to stop losing. But, I admit I have become addicted to watching the scale go down. In the past month, I have changed my final goal weight from 150 to 140. And, now I am thinking that 130 might be more fun. My other gripe is that my clothes aren't looking good. The ones that I can find are a bit big. But, I don't dare go shopping again. And, I have two missing pairs of jeans that I would like to wear but can't find. I went to the Airman's attic the other day and picked up a bunch of size 10s and 31s. I had hoped that some of them would fit. But, at least I have something to move into when I get things moving again. As far as my recent body happenings, my belly is depressing. I can stand in front of the mirror and pull at least five inches of skin before my belly looks a little normal. Maybe I should buy a bigger bra and pull that extra skin up into my bra. I need to get away. A girlfriend and I have talked about taking an over night trip to Seattle. Maybe I should get the ball rolling on it. Hat

Wow... petite???? Thats great!!! Good for you... i'm sooo happy for you. maybe down the line you can get a tummy tuck. With more and more people having WLS ... plastic surgery to get rid of the skin will be common place and the prices will start to go down. In the meantime... Just be thrilled with your success! Best wishes Julia

First, Kudos on ALL you've accomplished Second, I've been stewing on this one since you posted it last nigth/this morning lol. How about Mink Coat instead of hat box? Just a thought. They're luxurious, flashy in a VERY elegant understated way, and classy. I am NOT promoting anyone kill or wear animal furs btw

Hey Hat, you petite woman you! How exciting!
