My Mother's Day Gift - SIZE TEN JEANS!!!

To think back to August, when I couldn't button my size 24 jeans while laying on the bed flat, you can understand why I nearly broke into tears in the Gap fitting room yesterday when I put on a pair of 10's, zipped them up without laying on the floor, and was still able to walk and breathe! I knew the 12s were getting big, but to be in a size 10 for the first time in my life was just overwhelming to me. I really got all choked up. Thank goodness the fitting room attendant was the sensitive type! The smallest every day size I have ever been is a 12 - unless you count the one size 9 outfit I had for 10 minutes in 1985. I got it from Home Shopping Club, and it was a very stretchy knit. I never wore another size 9/10 in anything else, and only ordered that in a size 9 because I thought I would lose weight and fit into it. But I am walking on air today, folks! I'm calling to make my trainer appointments for the next two weeks, then off on my cruise to the Mediterranean. I hope I don't over do it on the ship!!

woohoo for you anna!!!!

Hey Anna, Isn't it a wonderful feeling to be able to wear clothes that you never worn before? Carla

Congratulations! I haven't been in anything smaller than a size 18 in the last 20 years, so I'm looking forward to the day when I can shop in the regular Misses department, so you are an inspiration for this beginner, whose consult day is 9 days from today Take care, Laureen

Thank you, guys! I was so proud of myself! Hey, Carla - what is going on with Dr. Bilof? I saw the Dr. Nusbaum is moving, and the site says Dr. B is not affiliated with Obesity Treatment Centers of NJ - is he staying at that office or moving on??

Hi Anna WTG!!! I actually tried on an Xl shirt and it fit!! from a 4 x to XL i was excited!! anyway Dr. B is still staying in that office according to dominga. If you have to giv them a shout and ask. Congrats again Charlene
