hopefull 0 Posted April 7, 2006 This is a total "I can't believe it" I really wanted another jeans jacket since I am selling my 3X one on E-Bay. I really needed a couple of short sleeved shirts and Filenes had some on sale for 7.99 (just right for me since I am still losing weight). I saw these really pretty jeans jackets and couldn't help myself. I tried onthe XL but it was too roomy (I can't believe I"m saying that!) I bought the Misses L:eek: !!! It is slightly tight in the sleeves and a bit restrictive in the shoulders and snug around the middle. Nothing 10 lbs won't fix! Check it out. I am so loving this band!!!! Sorry for the self serving interest of this post. I just have to tell someone. I see myself out of the corner of my eye passing a mirror and I still, go back and can't believe its me.....As far as the disparity and non uniformity of womens sizes, there are as many "OOOH it fits!! as there are HMMM, why doesn't this fit....!! OK, I'm done rambling.:speechles Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hopefull 0 Posted April 7, 2006 Thank you all so much. Every size down is a totally awe inspiring and deserving of thanks to God. I never had any faith that I could do this and even though there are many bumps along the way down and I am far from a "perfect bandster", I would do this again in a heartbeat. I haven't been this close to onederland in 20 years. I am like a kid in a candy store when I go cautiously checking out new clothes. I have to re-learn how to shop. I have to remember that I am not so overweight now that I can't walk a long way or sit cross legged on the floor. It's amazing how our brains take a lot longer to catch up with a new improved version of ourselves. No more fat thinking for me. I am so done with that!!!

hopefull 0 Posted April 8, 2006 You guys are so great! I don't know why I am so emotional about all this. I start thinking about my reasons for doing this or just thinking how my life has changed, or why did I have to spend so much time losing out on what life has to offer and then I go make myself look in the mirror and say to myself YOU ARE WORTHY! You are so close. You can do this. You are not alone. And then, there you all are with so many words of endearment, empowerment, praise and admiration. My humbleness abounds and here the tears come. Thank you all Robyn Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
