Share your wow moment with me

Today I had a few wows!! I was in the shower and as I'm washing my feet I realized...I wasn't having a hard time bending down to reach them!!! THEN I was just in my jeans and bra giving my son a bath when my dad shows up so I run to my room and throw on the first shirt I see so I can answer the door...then it dawned on me that this was one of my old shirts I pulled down from my "one day" box and it looks damn good on me!!

I'm just proud of my self and I want to hear from you guys!!

Aww, that's great Stacy.  I remember those wow moments, and looking forward to seeing them again. :)  That's awesome that your fitting into one of your goal shirts!  I was just thinking the other day about buying one, or actually a piece of lingerie.  I LOVE sexy lingerie when I'm thinner.  Makes you feel so good! :)

Hey Holly, this made me think of a solution to your li'l problem you are having with your DH not being very supportive of your dieting efforts. 

Take a piece of your sexiest lingerie from when you were thinner and hang it on the bedpost.  Tell your DH that the night that you can fit back into it, you are going to "Rock His World!!!"

I'll bet that will have him slapping food right outcha hands!

Yay Stac!!! Way to go, that's so stinkin' cool.

I remember a two-sided wow when I went to get dressed up in one of my blazers and it looked like it belonged to a big BIG sister. Tried on another; same result.

I don't know why, but there is one blazer I keep and once in a while try on just to see....  SILLY. I love it, and I simply can't and will never again be able to wear it.

I finally went through my closet and weeded out anything "large". :-)

Ah the "agony" of having to buy all new clothes.

I have many and many are on-going.


1. When I realized I was all done "closet-shopping." For the last 2.5 years I've been so excited to get into those old clothes I wore as I went "up" the scale. Well now they are all gone. The smallest sizes in my closet  were 3x tops and 28 pants. I wear 1x-2x tops and 22/24 pants now so when I need new clothes I have to buy them. Of course I love that but my budget does not! lol

2. When I went clothes shopping for school clothes this fall (I'm a teacher) I really felt smaller and could really see the shape of my body. For sooooo long I've just felt like a big ball of fat that I couldn't see my body through the fat. I have collarbones now. I can feel the muscles now. It's so cool!

3. When a parent of a former student didn't recognize me in the store. She works there and I ran into her and said hi. She looked blank and then was like "Ms. McConkey???" It was pretty cool.

4. I am able to sit with my legs crossed for the first time in over 15 years. Now that's COOL!!

 

"Closet-Shopping".  I've never heard that terminology used before, but I sure have done a lot of it in my time!  But it took me so long to lose my weight that unfortunately, I was slightly out of style!  Glad to hear you are out of the closet...to shop anyway!

very very cool ladies!!! I stepped on the scaled today and I'm down to 294!! This girl right here is excited!!!
