Thanks everyone! I got to see a lot of people I haven't seen in a while and it felt great to look that good I have to admit (while sounding very vain lol). But I definitely need to lose about 100 more pounds and could stand to lose more than that but think losing more than that will be too hard to do. I could lose at least 5-10 pounds on each arm unfortunately since that is my huge problem spot.
The really weird thing is that 8 years ago before I had cancer I had lost weight and I was around 200 pounds (I'm at 272 right now) and I was wearing some of the same stuff I'm wearing now because I still have those clothes and the dress I have on in that pic is from that time. The body is such a bizarre thing to me!! I did have a breast surgery (for breast cancer) where they detached some fat from my stomach and reattached it to make new breasts for me so my body did have to rearrange itself but it's still bizarre to me that I can fit in that dress at about 75 pounds heavier.
Yes clothes are weird. They are especially weird in larger sizes. I have clothes I can wear in a 75 pound range but then you get down to a certain size and things are more fitted and there is a more narrow pound range.
I did see you have the most valuable post RnY wardrobe essential..the shrug!
