I did it.. then craziness ensued!!

I'm so thrilled... I went shopping today.. and got a pair of jeans.. cuz my old ones were so lose, not only were they baggy, they were pulling my underwear down!! LOL. I'm down to a 22... snug.. but still on me... I was wearing a 30 or more in most clothes preop. So I went home... very happy with my success. I got to thinking.. I have some formal gowns in my closet I haven't worn in some time (one is from my Jr. Prom when I was 16.... 8 years ago). I tried on the one I wore for my sister's wedding in 2004. When I wore that dress previously, I had to brace myself against a wall while my sister and her maid of honor tugged and pulled until I got in the dress... then I couldn't breath during the entire affair. As soon as she left for her honeymoon, I shedded that dress for jeans. LOL. (European size 26) Now.. It nearly fell off of me. I was wanting to wear it for my company's christmas party, but it might not be possible to take in a dress that much. We are talking atleast 6 inches here. So I decided to try on the dress from my Jr. Prom (size 22 zum zum) and it was loose too. But.. it fit right. I looked hot... I pranced around my house for atleast 15 minutes, not believe that I was in the dress... It was a good day.

Amy, Aren't those non-scale victories to die for! LOL!!! I am so happy for you!! You are doing so great!!! Keep it up Girl!! Go AMY, GO AMY, GO AMY...!!!!!!!!!! Kat

did you take pictures????? I am, so happy for you!!!! hope all is well with you

Heather, I didnt take pictures... as my hair was a mess, and I was home alone.. but you bet your bottom dollar, I'll need to do that soon!! LOL.

I used to dread going to a formal affair and trying to find something to wear.... the styles availabale in large sizes all looked like they belonged on my great grandmother. But since 1/2 of me is gone, I go into the stores just to try gowns on for the fun of it..... Can't wait to see those pictures. Best wishes as you continue on this awesome journey. luvitsunnyv

You're beautiful anyway Amy.....I just love your hair too! Can't wait to see the pics and I would prance around too if I were you, in fact I have too when I fit into things! W00-hoo and horray to your wow moment!!! hugs, Tami

Careful Girl! Shopping can be addicting.....I know. I've gone down 8 sizes since my surgery last year. Now I have to avoid stores because I can fit in so much cute stuff! Tracie Congrats on the 22's!
