I am a size 4! 138 lbs today. Fun shopping!
Hi Gang,
Just a short note to let you know about some great NSVs.
It is hot out so time for some new exercise shorts and capris! So I purchased some new tanks and capris in a size SMALL! This time last year, I was 4 months post op, and needed to purchase LARGES. Before that, I was in the XXL to XXXL and getting my exercise clothes at Catherines!
Last week a car HONKED at me while I was running down the sidewalk! I got a honk! Yay!
Lastly, and the best part, is that I think I am mentally adjusting to my size. I used to gravity to the size 12 to 14s ...no matter where I was. My head thought that was the size "looked right" for my body.
Since i was a muddy mess from trail running, I just grabbed at size 4 dress off the rack at marshalls cuz it looked right. I would try it and my new shorts on at home after I showered. It fit!
I started this journey a size 28 to 32 and 17 months later now weigh 138 and am a size 4.
A 4!!!
Like...I never thought I would ever see that number! The most I had even hoped for was an 8.
Yay 4!
RNY Surgery: 12/31/2013;
Current weight (2/27/2015) 139lbs, ~14% body fat
Three pounds below Goal!!! Yay !
Isn't it awesome to suddenly realize that all the "cute" clothes now fit. It's still hard for me too sometimes to realize how small I am. I bought a bunch of stuff the other day that I need to take back because it's all med and too big. I can't quite get my head around a size small either.
I bet you really rock that size four. What an incredible accomplishment. You better get use to that honking it's going to happen a lot more often now.
On a side note I wanted to say that I have followed your journey closely. You are just a bit ahead of me surgery date wise and always had such a positive attitude that it helped keep me on track. I was a XXXL or at best a XXL when I started and I would read your posts and tell myself if you can be that positive about this journey then so could I. I attribute a lot of my success to that focus. I think we have all had people on here that inspired us to do better or push ourselves harder but I don't think we tell those people often enough.
You keep rocking the size four and I'll keep reading your posts and silently cheering u on.

Or maybe they were honking at you because you were about to step in an open manhole? :-D
