To be comfortable in your clothes! I never realized how miserable I felt daily, squeezing into spanxs, wearing clothing that were too tight hoping no one would notice. Working trade shows for my job, and having to take frequent bathroom breaks, just so I could go sit down and rest my aching feet. The list goes on and on...

Now, I wake up, shower, get dressed, in the same too tight clothes I wore pre surgery, and guess what...They fit me beautifully now, the way they were supposed to 40lbs heavier, sans spanxs, and I can now breath when I sit down. OH and my bras fit me properly now too!

Ugh the torture we put ourselves through! I can also work a full day, in my heels, and feel fine. I am more outgoing, smiley, and overall, I am sure more positive and approachable. I am starting to like what I see in the mirror, and it has only just begun.

I agree with Charms... those clothes that "fit so beautifully" now will soon be falling off your butt! I can certainly relate! I wore my regular clothing for the first 50-60 pounds of my loss, and then I HAD to start getting into some smaller sizes because it truly looked like I was going to float away in my pants.

Isn't it nice to wear heels all day and not be sore from doing that?! What an amazing NSV. Congrats! Keep up the great work Jennifer!
