So Surprised!

[Maddy1 55]

I have read so many posts about nsvs and how good they make you feel....but today, it was my surprise. My daughter insisted on going shopping with me today because yesterday my jeans were literally sliding down my hips. Today she kept picking clothes for me to try on. I used to be a 22 and I kept telling her to pick out things close to that size. Instead, she insisted I try on 18's and guess what? They fit and I looked great in them! I was so surprised, I just couldn't believe it. I came home and began to empty out the 22's in my closet. Everything from winter in that size is now in a bag for the Salvation Army. It was so exciting and so motivating. Thanks to everyone for listening. I am just floating I am so happy!

Congrats! Wait till you get into the single digits! Make sure you get rid of ALL but one outfit (so you can compare yourself to the old one) so you're not tempted to gain the weight back and still have clothes that fit you. I literally can't afford to gain my weight back!

Good job! Keep it up!

Congrats to you, I remember how long I wore clothes that were way to big. It's hard to believe our bodies have changed!!

instead of giving to the Salvation Army, check your area for places that give the clothes free. there are sooo many woman who cannot afford the prices at Goodwill or Salvation Army.

I googled free clothing give away and found a place in town, sponsored and volunteer run by a suburban church.

Woohoo! NSV's are the best weight loss success, even better than scales. Congrats! Karen

Awesome job.I started in a 20. I am now a size 8. Just be careful on how many you buy. Also if the clothes are even a little loose think about sizing down. That way you can wear them longer.

Thanks to everyone for your support!

Congratulations! There is no better feeling than putting bags of too-big clothes in the donation bins! I would keep one pair of pants to try on when you reach goal, or even when you're feeling down during a plateau or something. It'll remind you how great you're doing and how far you've come. Keep up the great work!

Congratulations, there is no better feeling than surprises like that on this weight loss journey. And kuddos to your daughter for knowing better than you what size you needed.
