Just finished bagging a bunch of clothes that are much TOO BIG!!!

That was certainly fun! Bagging up clothes to give away.
However, one thing was even better...
I found a pair of white denim jeans that I used to wear when I worked in the nursing home and was brave enough to try them on.

One leg all the way in. hmmm
second leg -- yup all the way up
and scootch in & with a little jiggle...

SUCCESS up to the waist!!!

ok so they are elastic waist... I say SO WHAT!!!

THEY ARE SIZE......




12!!!!



woo hoo!


and I can sit in them! I can breathe! I can even cross my legs in them! I'm so excited I just HAD to share!

Isn't it great?????? Finding new old clothes!!  I suggest you keep a couple of the biggest outfits however.  I wish I had kept 2 but I only kept a pair of jeans and one shirt.  That shirt is bigger than some of my dresses now.  It's sort of amazing to put those jeans on and realize they were my "skinny" jeans.  hahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa  It blows my mind that I can pull them on and almost put 2 of me in them.

I love it that you can sit in them and breathe and cross your legs!! WOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOO girlfriend!!!!!!!!!!!

hugs, Y

You are absolutely right about that! It is GREAT!

A short time ago a friend suggested that I may be a size 12 by now... but I said..Noooo still in my 14's  but tonight I just figured hey.. I may as well try them on and see how far up my legs I CAN get them... What a surprise! ..

I could actually wear them in public because they aren't tight the whole way just the tummy area which is easily hidden by a nice sweater!
We all know those hide the body part game right?

Wow a summer coming where I can wear white jeans/ slacks and not feel EXPOSED!

oh I have put some larger stuff away for safe keeping... my one size 26/28 top... (I have a photo of me wearing it- mainly head shot - but still....) and a dress and the pair of jeans that I wore to my first appt at Dr. Clarke's... (also have photo of me before leaving for his office)
one of these days... I'll post all this stuff...
I'm dreadfully slow - i know...

Oh that's PERFECT!! You have photographic proof that you wore those clothes!! I was always on the other side of the camera and the before pictures of me are few and far between.  I found one in my mom's stuff that I didn't know she had and I had to totally come to terms with posting it.  I had gone through the process with all the pictures I had but when I found a new one that I didn't know existed, I was shocked.  I finally posted it.  I mean it when I say that I became a photographer so I could always control the images at any function that I just might be attending.

And yes, I know all about hiding body parts.  It never changes.  No matter how thin you get, how much you have fixed, no one is ever perfect so you always have the weakest area.  Accessorize the good places baby!!  White jeans!! I do want to see pictures soon.
hugs, Y

um well... see somehow I managed to damage the memory card and can't seem to download anything from that card.

However, I do have many other photos on other cards. Just a matter of going through them and also sorting out boxes of prints that need to be scanned....

I haven't done any before pictures yet... like Yvonne, I am always the one behind the camera, not in front!  I know I need to get some taken and soon!

Yay, Judy!  I love it!  I'm burning through the sizes, as well.  I took three big bags to our Good Samaritan shop the other day.  Seems like I do that every month or so.  I'm wearing a 10 now, but they're starting to feel a little baggy - keep in mind that I'm the Hipless Wonder.  I want the next 10 pounds to come off my tum!

Yay, yay, yay!  You just go and be your own bad self!  Happy Dance!
