I went shopping

In my closet today.  I have so much clothes that did not fit me.  I would put them in bins and say some day these will fit.  Well some day is here.lol  I sort  them by sizes so each month I can try on to see what will fit now.  each time we went on vacation I would lose weight buy new clothes for vacation.  With in a month they would no longer fit me.

I am going on vacation to Florida for 3 weeks leaving next week.  I found so much clothes I can bring with me.  Then I sorted the rest by what will fit me when I get back.  I will be doing a lot of walking and swimming.  I am hoping for a good weight loss when I get back.  I may not be able to weigh myself when I am away.  Due to no scale.  I could bring my scale with me.

My Mom is turning 80 and we are having a surprise party for her.  This will be the first time my mom and sister see me since my surgery. 

Congrats! I did the same thing until there were only a few pieces left of things that either fit now or almost fit. The majority of my wardrobe is extremely baggy!

I went shopping today as well! I got six new pieces and a new bra! Now my girls are high where they belong and I have six new items that fit me beautifully. I know in a couple of months it will no longer fit but I deserve to have clothes that show off my new figure in the best light. (I have to remind myself that this is a nice problem to have.)

Best of luck to you! I know you will receive a great response from family and friends who haven't seen you since surgery. Have a great time on your vacation!!!!

Whoo hoo! That's cool, sounds like you go on lots of vacations, lucky you!

Do you have a goal outfit? Hope your mom has a great birthday and your family is positive and kind to you!

Yep---shopping in my own closet has been a money saver. Even with a few purchases---particularly a belt (yikes--who would have thought that I would buy 2 belts)---you can make those clothes go a long way. That and a few visits to Goodwill!!!!!

IMHO---no scale on vacation! But I would take a notebook to track your food each day to keep yourself accountable---unless you have access to your tracking software while you're gone. Otherwise, you can enter your intake when you return.

Have a great time!  Going to FL myself in mid-March--can't wait!

How exciting. I loved shopping in my own closet. I did it for the first 5 months.  Eventually, you will get too small for your own closet.  That's what happened to me. 

I just down sized my closet again last night. It is so hard to not get in the baggy rut. Clothes that fit feel so good... But I tend to think I have to try to cover up every inch that hangs....the reality for me is it adds more to the look than there really is so I have been trying to embrace ea*****h of my hanging body and wear the jeans I like hanging belly and all. I have friends that feel good with the new clothes I give them, I feel good to give them. I have more color to my wardrobe than I have in so many years. Variety!! I have more jeans than stretch nit material!! I am actually looking at sizes and styles now instead of just looking for the biggest and stretchiest material!
No longer closet shop, rather I call it my cha ching moments at the second hand stores.....also my EXCERSIZE to walk through the stores and look and try on everything I want to even though I may not buy any more than one item. Adds to my movements beyond my regular EXCERSIZE routine. Let's me decide who I am more in my clothing style.... If I have a style,,, not sure I know yet, lol.
