Good morning everyone! So yesterday I decided to get some new work clothes for two reasons. One-my old ones were getting saggy and two-the weather is changing. Off I go to my favorite store.....Cato. If anyone is familiar with Cato, you know they have the store split into two sides. Plus size and "regular" size. Of course I make a beeline for the Plus section. I saw some nice things, but all the sizes were too large. I'm thinking to myself, they have sold out of all the smaller sizes. I see this skirt I liked and asked the saleslady if they had anymore. She said "well, there are few more left on the other side" The other side? Off I go to the other side. To my surprise I could fit XL!!! No "W" on the end of it. And, it's not tight or inappropriate looking. I have on the skirt now that I bought there. XL? I have lost over 40lbs (which may not seem like much) and I had surgery 12/9/2010. But, I go to the gym 4 days a week for an hour each time. I'm taking step, weight training, kickboxing and Zumba classes. I have lost lots of inches. But XL? No one else can understand what we go through but others that have been through the same things we have. Our bodies change, we lose weight, but we still think that we are heavier than we are. Just think, I was on the plus side thinking they had ran out of smaller sizes, when I was just in the wrong section. My 10cc band it at 4.5cc now. I go this morning for another fill and I'm hoping that will give me the restriction that I need. Right now, I have none. I can feel a little first thing in the monring, but for the most part, I eat what I want. I think the fact that I have been exercising has kept me from gaining. Granted I eat far less than I used to, but I could do better. Well, thanks for listening and GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!!
