I fit into a size large top at the Walmart today! Woohoo!

I went to try on clothes today. I recently went from a 1X to an XL, so I grabbed a bunch of XL tops and tried them on, and was shocked when one of them was too big. I double checked the size and it was an XL. So I grabbed a size large off the rack and tried it on and it fit. I was totally amazed and my heart started racing and tears came into my eyes. I can't remember the last time I fit into a size Large top. Of course, I bought it, lol, even though it's got tank sleeves and I hate showing my arms. It's going to be a hot summer though, so I need to get over that.

It was only one top; the other size XL's fit just fine, but it's a great start. I was in 4-5X tops pre-op, so it feels great to get something without an X in the title, lol.

Congratulations for gaining access to that part of the ladies clothing department which was previously off limits! This is an Awesome victory, and well deserved, too - way to go!!

(Lol...Your foot's in the door now, Kathy - Keep Punchin'!)

Thanks; it is so great to be able to have so much more selection to choose from; almost overwhelmingly so. I'm used to being so limited in where I can shop.

And the good news is that there is less of a weight difference between smaller sizes. So another five or ten pounds and those XL's may be too big.

I was thrilled to fit into one top in a Large; can't wait until more of them fit, lol. Thanks for telling me there's less of a weight difference in the smaller sizes; that's really good to know.

Congratulations Kathy!!! That's amazing!!! I totally get why you would have tears in your eyes. You are an inspiration. Hard work and persistence does reap incredible results.

Thank you!

such a great moment - congrats!

Sounds like an amazing experience Kathy! 4-5x is what I am wearing, although, I'm sure with the way they are fitting me, i'll probaby more between a 4x and 3x, but haven't gone shopping...trying to avoid the stores as long as possible lol

Nonetheless, to be able to fit into a Large, would be so surreal for me, I can't remember when I was in a large size anything. Don't concern yourself that it was just one top, you are going in the right direction. What a great NSV!!!

I'm sure there will be many more NSV for you, and I wish nothing but good things for you to come.

That is so awesome kathy. You are working so hard and it is paying off
