I did same thing girl! Washed loads this weekend hoping last time I wash that pain or jeans too! I am down to the last few pair too.... Most have rub holes in the hoo hoo area I have my protein shake up and I'm cheering you!!! Clink clink. To us being thin!

So, a challenge to us all- equate calories to dollars- is a milkshake worth $1000- NOPE LOVE THIS!!!!!

OK! It's on the list.

Laundry is MUCH more productive than a pity party!! EXCELLENT decision! Good luck to you & your husband!!!

Great post, and such a great way to look at it!

seeing my clothes get smaller and me being more mobile is worth more than a over in a moments food/drink great post

jim (((((((((hugs from nc))))) your pic brought tears to my eyes you look amazing and i am so excited you shared your picture with this forum you were one of the first people who reached out to me here and i will never forget it anyway, sorry to get sidetracked....your pic is great you look handsome in your tux

hi roo and rita! wow, alot of similarities; i am so proud of all you've come through roo! it's astonishing what truly resilient creatures we are, is it not? i too am 43, have PCOS with all the joys that can usher into one's existence, and am near your starting weight. i have fairly recently reached this same epiphanic moment you describe and am also seriously contemplating the sleeve procedure. it took me the better part of a decade to have my miracle baby - now a leaping 2.5 er - and that journey was fraught with more loss and pain than i imagined possible. so i think i can probably contend with the challenges ahead, but the very thought of an irreversible procedure to a major organ does fill me with all kinds of terror and misgiving! i am having the surgery consult this coming tuesday; to be honest i had no idea i would even gain access to a surgeon this rapidly, and i haven't discussed this yet with anyone beyond my husband (briefly). i am in canada and would have to wait many years for an insured procedure as the waiting list is long and is prioritized from the heaviest patient down, so this will most likely be self-pay, thereby adding a whole new level of stress (and i guess investment)! pleasure to meet you, and i look forward to our journey - xo shimmer

I need some clarification: Are you in a hurry to get rid of the clothes because you want them gone or because you're afraid of your husband's reaction? And forget going to the Goodwill, I'm pretty sure you could open one of your own!

Awesome!!
