Beginning to feel like a human again.... Sharing a Scale victory and NSV

Well now.. I don't consider it skinny by any stretch of the imagination.. lol   But at least I'm starting to feel like I FIT IN.  I did catch a glimpse of myself in the mirror at the doc's office and had to turn away kinda disgusted.. but as long as I avoid mirrors.. I'm good to go! And.. ps.. imagine away.. cause you have been making AWESOME progress chick a dee.

Lori, if I can qualify as skinny at 335 in the eyes of a 5 yr old, you must be downright skin and bones! lmao

Woohoo, congrats on the pants girl!  As for the itty bitty ***** committee...welcome aboard it's not so bad. hehe  Oh I bet you felt great when those things went over your hips.  Sounds like you'll be in a 13/14 in no time at all!  Wowza!!  I'm so happy for you, you've worked so hard for this.  

This morning was I think the first morning in a LONG time that I actually honestly had a real true yearning to see some kind of change in my clothing.  It's usually all about losing the weight as a whole.  So reading this post just made me so happy for you and excited for myself for "what's to come once again".  Isn't it great!

(((((APPLAUSE))))) 

"it's not so bad." Yea.. I put these poor puppies through the wringer...   With full D's, I nursed, then went and had them reduced to C's, then gained a ton of weight  back up to d's.  Now c's are loose?  WHOA!  It's a small price to pay overall! yes.. I hear ya when you say it's about losing weight as a whole.  I haven't looked at sizes in years... just..  2x 3x and can't find clothes bigger.  Usually it's all about the scale.  But when my 2x danskins fell dangerously low, I knew it was time to get new ones. 

YESSSS!  I love boy cuts, too! That is a big deal when undies fit right. I just bought boy cuts at Victoria secrets, too.  Neon colors for summer. Since you and I are the same body type, try on Gloria Vanderbilts Amanda jeans - they are stretch, so the 16's will fit you awesomely. JC Penney's almost always has them. I have not seen a Foxmoor in years, dunno.  BUTTT Deb's has a plus size (translation:  real women sizes in not fat lady styles). Also try Fashion Bug - same type of clothes that Foxmoors had! My boobs are still 36d's. I only wore a 38D when at 220 ish! Did not lose much there, hardly do. In my case, thank God, last to go. Wish my gut was the same!  Congrats - I am so excited for you. Makes shopping fun again.  Now stop whining about nuttin to wear, dammit.

pfffffffffffffffffft... I'm wearing my danskins everywhere for now!   I tried on Jessi's pants.. I will NOT buy 'em though.  My closet is EMPTY.  Jon took 'em all to goodwill.. GONZO!   Jon's pushing me to take some sort of management position with his company.  I'm so iffy because I'm not where I should be weight wise, which means my manner of dress won't be what I need it to be either.  Also, the traveling for training worries me at this point..  If I can't be where I need to be (weight wise and physical ability) by the end of June... I'll do just about anything to make money (hopefully not open another store). LOL  When I started this I told him to give me a YEAR... and a year is what I need! I bought my first leather jacket at foxmoor many, many moons ago ;)  In another 40 lbs.. I'll check out Fashion bug...  40 lbs.. first goal is ooh.. less than 40 lbs from now.

Thanks for the compliment on my progress, hunny. It sure does boost the ego and the motivational drive but I am still DAMN envious you are so close to a goal. That is sooo awesome!!

Like I'm envious of everyone else..  some of it has been good...  it's some healthy, yet silent, competition.   I wanted what I read others were getting... so I am going after it.  You're doing the same thing I am doing...  and you'll do it!!  Yea, it's like running a mile uphill, but we just gotta pull each other up that hill.

It is great to hear the positive energy in your voice.  I am so happy for you!!!! Isn't it great seeing those sizes going down?  When I was at my heaviest I couldn't even wear a size 30/32 pants.  I could wear the stretchy kind but nothing with a button.  I said that I'd be happy in an 18/20W.  Well I can shop pretty much anywhere now, and I can buy a 14/16 REGULAR.  Just wait, you'll be screaming to anyone who will listen.

Way to go!!! Will your daughter share or will you now know what to buy?
