SV SV SV SV!!!

I know a lot of folks call this an NSV, but damn it, this is a scale VICTORY for me. For whatever reason, I have always been a clothes whore, but I am a cheap clothes whore. (Note: the word clothes is between cheap and whore....

Well, I always shop catalogs and I always shop clearance. And I always had good intentions so sometimes I would buy stuff and not return it when it didn't fit, promising to one day fit into it. Well, I am sure everyone here can relate and you all know what always happens next...

Today, I am down 75.5 lbs since April when my journey began (35.5) since my surgery 7 weeks ago. I am very pleased with my average of 5# per week, btw.

In the past 3 years I have only worked 10 months and since I don't have a job yet, I can't go shopping...not even to Goodwill...money is just too tight. But, I can shop at GG's closet!!! Last night my hubbie and I had a fashion show. I tried on those things that still have price tags on them, and so many of them fit me already. Some are even too big (I missed the window to wear them). And a lot of them are only about 20# away from wearing. I am so excited I wanted to open the windows and tell all the neighbors. But I am more comfortable knocking on your virtual windows and sharing this with you!!!

Besides feeling great and fitting behind the steering wheel, I now have a brand new wardrobe!!! That I didn't have to pay for (OK, I did, but I'd say these are fully depreciated) and I didn't have to put any recent money out.

That is awesome ... Be careful though ... Too many of those fashion shows & your husband may not be able to hold himself back!

We know exactly what you mean. We all probably have a couple of clothing items we tuck back in the closet that still have price tags on. I totally forgot about that. Cool that's my next stop.... my closet. Keep up the excellent work. Thanks for sharing.
