Transfer addiction - shopping
Shoes are a necessity... That's all I used to buy when I was SMO! Got too depressing buying clothes...
Now I have to keep the shoe collection updated to go with all the new clothes! It's a vicious cycle I tell you

Yes. I dropped a full shoe size. Went for a men's 11 to a 10. I had to buy all new shoes.
The upside is that I love shoes, but due to my weight I was constrained to buying only supportive shoes. I did my best with what I could get, but now that those issue are gone my shoes game is ON POINT. My new shoe collection is pretty awesome. And I am always struggling to not keep adding to it! Completely out of space in our shoe rack. Trying to come up with clever ways to expand the rack so I can keep adding to it. Lol.
I lost almost 2 sizes. I wear an 8 or 8.5 now depending on the cut, because I do have wide feet. I used to wear a 9.5 or a 10 at my heaviest. I can't wear any of my old shoes at all.

I went from a 10 to a 9 or 9-1/2 depending on the brand. I have moderately narrow feet, so there was some improvement, but not much. I am excited that with all the weight I've lost, I will be able to tolerate my 3" heels again! Can't do that at 240lbs!

When I was SMO, I couldn't buy shoes because I have super wide feet and could never find anything to fit me right. I've gone down almost 2 sizes since I had surgery and can actually wear heels now, so I'm starting to buy more shoes.
