I was in desperate need of some clothes...I still am but have managed to slowly add a few things here and there.

I was shopping with my friend who is my "fashion consultant" haha.....it's hard for me to shop alone when I am so use to only having two plus sized stores with a set style to choose from....anyway....I was shopping with my friend and we picked out some shirts and I took a bunch of Mediums into the change room with me and lord love a duck....they were all too big!

EVERY

SINGLE

ONE

OF

THEM!!!

I proudly walked out of that store with two new size SMALL shirts clutched in my hands! Woohoo! This is a huge victory for me and it's been an awesome week! I am 2.8 pounds away from goal at less than 14 months out....wearing a size SMALL.....and full of energy and a new zest for life! It's incredible!

This weekend I am going shopping for new jeans because my 10's and 8's are falling off of me.....holy mackeral I will need a defibrillator if I end up buying a pair of size 6 or 4 jeans!

I was a stuffed sausage in my size 5X tops and 32 jeans pre-op.....and now this! Wowsa!

Work hard folks and keep up your determination because the NSV's at the end of the losing phase are just as exciting as the ones in the beginning!

Hopefully the next post you hear from me is me shouting from the rooftops that I hit my GOAL at last!

That is Awesome!!!  I am pre-op on the insurance required 6 month medically supervised diet for approval and I am so encouraged by your post.  My BMI is 54.1 (Yikes!!) and I am so ready to be able to purchase clothes in a normal store and not have to shop online or travel far to get to a plus size store.  Congratulations on your victory!!!  You're Awesome!!

Lord love a duck.... LOL that's a good one!

That is so awesome that u are in a size small!!! I can't even imagine! I am starting to get back into some of my jeans I couldn't even get above my hips 3 months ago and it feels awesome. So happy for u!!

Have u been to any consignment shops? It's so hard to find anything in plus sizes there, but I always see super cute stuff there in the single digit sizes. Rich women put on pounds and send the size 6s to consignment. Lol my tiny sister has gotten tons of name brand clothes there. Congrats again!!
