Funny Milestone
Posted this on the main message board but thought you guys would get a kick out of it......
I finally had a memorable milestone that I just thought I would share:
I recently decided to splurge a little and buy some cute new summer outfits from the Jessica London Catalog that were on sale... (http://www).jessicalondon.com. They have great stuff if you want to check it out. I like Chadwick's too - owned by the same company. Actually they own the Lane Bryant Catalog as well which is probably a little more popular but a little less trendy. Anyway, I found this light blue georgette printed short skirt that has a fluted-bottom on sale but they only had one left and it was a size 14W. I bought it thinking I would be able to wear it soon so why not go for it. Something I would never have done in the past. I took a guess that I was probably still about an 18 or maybe a 16 but wasn't 100% sure since I had not bought any clothes recently. When it arrived I tried it on and to my amazement it fit perfectly already!
The next day I wore the skirt to work and got lots of compliments on it.
My co-workers and I went for a little walk to grab some lunch. Apparently not only did my skirt size change but so did my stocking size. The brand new stockings I bought slowly crept down to my knees during our walk below the skirt line!!! I picked them up as much as I could while trying to be discreet about it but I had to inform my co-workers so we could make a pit stop to the bathrooms. They just laughed and said congrats! Too funny. I made it to the bathroom and proudly tossed them into the garbage!
I had my surgery on 4/19 and am down around 40lbs. I started at 280 (size 22-24) and am now about 240. Maybe even a little less then that. I've been losing a lot of inches lately and building great muscle. It is mostly due to my more aggressive exercise routine. I'm just thrilled with the results and feel very blessed to be on this journey with all of you =)
Happy Friday!!!
