I am happy to say that yesterday as I got ready to go to a bridal shower, I took one article of clothing out of the closet and wore it comfortably. It might sound like no big deal but in my past...it would take me trying on about 7 or 8 different outfits in order to feel OK with what I am wearing. I wore a shirt that I brought on my Honeymoon in 2003!

I bought these pantyhose shorts things that work like a girdle....they are called Spanxs....and man are they awsome! If anyone has the lower portion problem.....as I like to say bountiful buns and thighs, these Spanxs shorts are great.

I so know how you feel about trying on outfit after outfit trying to find something that makes me feel like I don't look like a beached whale. I am so glad that you had this fun experience with putting on an outfit. I can't wait to put something on and say ok not so bad!

So have the bountiful buns problem. Thanx for the recommendation for Spanx! Try to keep your chin up thru this whole plateau business. After the next fill it will be easier... but it may take several fills to get really good restriction. :]
