This was one of my WOWs...wearing my skinny jeans to work on dress-down-Friday. These jeans make my legs look like they go all the way up and not cut off short at 5'1". lol I don't know what it is about wearing these jeans to work but it's like a "you have arrived" feeling.

Do you have clothing, or a place, or something that gives you a "you have arrived" feeling or think will be when you hit goal?

Have a great Friday!

Clothes were always a big thing to me after I lost weight. I really enjoyed shopping for them, trying them on, etc.

My big WOW was airplane seats - I could bend over, sitting down, and get my stuff out from under the seat in front of me.

I have two "skimpy" swimsuits. DH bought them for me last summer to wear around our pool when no one else is over. I have "would you look at the size of my thighs" moments. The truth is I look so much better than I did last year and especially the year before that the thighs really don't matter that much (usually). When I have my head in the right place, the swimsuits make me feel great. I'm still not wearing them in public.

My skinny jeans too but the one that still gets me is being able to sit cross legged in a chair and be comnfortable.

After a winter of wearing sweatpants because of my knee, I loved my trip to New Orleans where I got to bring out all my cute winter skinny clothes. I love being able to wear a sweater and still look skinny, not tubby. I'm back to sweats again but looking forward to someday being back in real clothes and looking hot.

At Christmas my sister got me some nice leggings with a beautiful sweater with a belt! Me, a belt?? Oh yeah, I have a waist now! I didnt think I could wear it, but its one of my favorites now. I would have never worn leggings in the past or anything to bring attention to my middle.
Got a three day weekend yahoo!

I think a "Wow" moment for me, was when I could wear skinny pants with boots and people said how great I looked. I felt self-conscious and wondered, if they made me look "fat." Takes time for the head to catch up. Hard to believe sometimes.

Congrat for you Gina!!

I think my most emotional WOW was sitting Indian style on the Cheer Gym floor and watching a performance. I actually cried and all of the girls were so concerned but I explained they were happy tears.

2nd was not having the fear of being turned away at the airport (even though I really wasn't big enough for this to happen). Every time we fly I get the same amazing feeling when I can fasten the seat belt without holding my breath.

3rd was having an MRI done and I not feeling cramped. The Tech even said "you are the tiniest little thing" which felt so Good!

Pure Vanity. My size SIX skinny jeans. I finally feel like I've arrived, whatever the heck that means. I have lusted for low rise jeans forever and finally can wear them post plastics. Now the trick is to stay in them! Maintenance is going to be a great challenge for me because I think two pounds and my jeans won't fit!

Never got to skinny and don't think I ever will, but it is nice to be in smaller, normal size clothes and not be the fat chick.

My fav is no longer having to fear being seated at a booth in a restaurant. Miles of room between me and the table now.
