Well I'll be damned.....

I used to wear out the inner thighs of my jeans from my legs rubbing together when I was MO so no jeans that I ever liked lasted past a year of wear.  Today I put on my size 4 jean capri's and went out, the only thing that is worn out is a belt loop from dragging my big chunky metal belts through it.  I looked back at the pics on my profile because I knew I had taken one in these capri's a long time ago and it was from July of 2008.  WOW.  I didn't realize how long I had these, or lots of my clothes, I don't wear things out anymore, usually I just get tired of them and donate them or sell them at consignment.  This really is amazing.

Here's the pic from 2008.  I need to take a current pic in them to compare.  The funny part is that this is a wig in this pic and now my hair is nearly the same length and highlighted blond.

I notice the same thing, Heidi.

I either wore them out like that, or outgrew them.

This is the first year that I can just open my closet or dresser and
I'll put clothes that fit me last year.

I don't think I have ever worn out a piece of clothing in my life.  That is something I am hoping to be able to do.  I will know I have arrived when that happens.  I did take out my warm weather clothes a few weeks ago and they still fit so I have made a start.  I usually have to buy new clothes when the weather changes.  Or when my size would change.
One of the reasons I always like buying jeans at thrift stores is because they look worn so it looked like I had been wearing them for a long time instead of having just purchased them.

congrats!  a NSV for me is how many item of clothing I can fit in a load of wash or a small suitcase. Thanks for your concern  about my health.   I am doing real well.  

Glad you are doing well Loris, I hope you have continued good health and no more issues.

That's great (and a great pic, I might add!)  Why the wig you have pretty hair! 

I kept my hair short when I was having back to back surgeries because it falls out so badly.  I am done with plastics so I started letting it grow back two years ago.  I liked options.

Thanks

Its a very cute pic Heidi - U're  such a beautiful lady , in 2008 and now .  Glad Ur real hair grew in ! 

Gives hope to a lot of people struggling with years of hair issues I'm sure .

Do you think the extra protein did the trick ?  Or maybe just less stress and the right  vitamins ?

My hair falls out following any surgery and after I gave birth to my son, it is very thick but is a huge mess all over the place falling out.  I didn't do anything special to let it grow back, I always try to keep my protein at 60grams and take all my vitamins. Now my poor hair is tortured by the fact I bleach it, lots of blond highlights over my naturally dark hair. 

GORGEOUS!!!!! isn't it awesome to be able to just step back into clothing from our early goal weights and fit them and be able/amenable to and snap a comparison pic in them? You look phenomenal and beautiful both with and without your wig ... you rocked your own hair beautifully when it was short ... in a wig and now your awesome longer mane ... ALWAYS BEAUTIFUL....... options are just awesome.. I love love love my wigs and so do my friends and peers ... although they all love it more when I wear my own like I have since Friday night .. don't know about tomorrow though LOL... We have tons of clients who purchase wigs or get extensions just for variety and we also have women of different culture/faith who purchase wigs to wear when they are outside the house  ... I love love love having options... If you ever want extensions for fun (not that you need them) come on down for a hook up ... I got you covered LOL....
