If this isn't motivation...

Today I went for my fitting for my bridesmaid's dress for my brother's upcoming wedding. Having ordered the dress back in September I was very worried that it wasn't going to fit and might have to be let out because I had gained a lot of weight after I ordered it. Not to mention that bridal sizes are all cockeyed and screwy so I had no idea what size it was in normal clothes anyway.

It didn't fit, all right...it had to be taken in almost 2 sizes! It was so big I actually had so hold it so it wouldn't fall down while the seamstress pinned the straps on. I was actually in such shock I couldn't speak. I love my lap band!

Congratulations, Jenn! NSV's like that are awesome! I was banded five months ago, and have already cleared out my closet twice. I figure I'm never going to be this size again, so if it's too big, out it goes! The best part is having to replace the replacement clothes I bought after the first go-round. When my old clothes started falling off, I replaced things with new stuff that fit right at the time. And now THAT stuff is too big, so is being replaced again. It's a great feeling.

People complain about the cost of clothes, but I figure I'm saving SO much by not eating like I used to, I can use that food money toward new clothes. It's a small price to pay, and I look good while I'm losing weight. One dinner out in the old days is equal to a new pair of pants or a dress shirt now. No more Omar the Tent Maker clothes for me.
