Clothes Shopping

We were at Wal Mart tonight and I was in the women's area looking at clothes. Six months ago I could only fit into size 4x or up if they had them and they were usually snug on me.  I would buy whatever they had in my size whether I like it or not. I was just grateful that there was something that I could squeeze into. Tonight I was in the ladies dept not the plus size and was being really picky about color and style.  What a differnce the last 6 months have made in my life.  Since I am losing faster then I thought I would I am buying inexpensive clothes.  I had bought 4 pairs of pants for work about 3 weeks ago and today someone at work told me they were getting to baggy and they were right.   This is so new to me buying clothes like this I just had to talk about it.

Barb, I agree it's so much nicer to choose rather than settle when buying clothes. Debbie

Can't wait!

HIJACK.... Hello Sandy....I don't think I have welcomed you before. Glad you joined us today and hope to see more of you. I read your profile......your granddaughter is so pretty and I love the pic of you in the black gown. You look beautiful!! I hope the doctor can help you stop losing...it must be frightening for you. Glad your testing has all come back good so far. Hugs, connie d

Wow that is small a size 0.  Hope the Dr's can figure out why you are sitll losing. I started out at 330 and hope that I can get to around 160..........I finally said it 160.  I have so many people asking me what my goal is and my answer to them is usually another 5 lbs.
