Stitchy 0 Posted July 21, 2006 For 3 days in a row, morning weight has been in One-derland! That sure seemed a long ways away before banding. It's hot today and will be all weekend. None of my shorts fit anymore. Ugh! DH took a picture of me last week and my shorts look like a short floppy skirt. I was determined not to buy any new clothes this summer but I may have to break down. Too, bad :heh: :heh: :heh: :heh: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
*susan* 1,709 Posted July 21, 2006 Wow, Stitchy, you are doing awesome! Buy yourself some new shorts, you have earned them! I am still a long way's away, but please save a place in onederland for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

princess_n_thep 2 Posted July 21, 2006 Good job!! I did most of my "losing weight sizes" off of ebay. Cheaper and you can resell them. Although I had kept most of my "growing" sizes so I was able to just shrink the closet as needed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stitchy 0 Posted July 24, 2006 I found (in my closet) a pair of khaki shorts that I wore last summer. They were a little baggie - well, a lot baggie - but with a top looked semi OK. Went to a festival this weekend. DH and I walked around the campground in the dark, sipping some wine, listening to jam sessions. I had the flashlight and I guess he didn't like the way I was shining it. He grabbed for the light and knocked the wine out of my hand, all over the shorts. Hmmm. His impatience is gonna' cost him:heh: :heh: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
beachgirl 2 Posted July 24, 2006 Congrats, I can't think of a better reason in this world to go shopping than getting into the 100's. I would spoil myself rotten. You've done great, pat yourself on the back, you deserve it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LindaV 0 Posted July 24, 2006 Hey Stitchy - Congratulations on onderland! I was in the same boat as you. None of my clothes fit very well and i didn't want to buy new ones this summer. I finally had to buy some clothes this weekend. I was in definate need of a bra. The "girls" were permanently visiting my bellybutton. I was amazed at the difference just a well fitting bra made. When I got a couple of pairs of pants and shirts, my husband and a few friends who saw me said the more fitted clothes make a huge difference and they could really tell how much weight I have lost. Actually, for the first time since my surgery, I could tell my body is smaller as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
paula 4 Posted July 24, 2006 Stitchy, *P L E A S E* go buy some clothes that fit. Need a clothes donation?? Im sure there are MANY members here that have lost enough weight and have tons of clothes stored in their closet! Most likely SHORTS in YOUR size! What size are you wearing now? As soon as you wear fitted clothes, you (and everyone else) will start feeling and noticing that there's 50 pound less of you. :biggrin1: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stitchy 0 Posted July 24, 2006 Thanks so much for everyone's kind words. I wish I knew what size I am now. Maybe an 18??? I really just know what size I'm NOT! I think maybe I'll at least go try on some clothes this Wednesday. Since we are in the middle of summer, maybe there will be things on sale. I wonder if there is any chance I will be able to shop in the *normal* section? That would be way cool. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
