Got High At Macy's!

[gmanbat 5,889]

I went to the mall with my family last Saturday and found my way to the Macy's men's department. I started trying on sport coats and suit jackets. The more I did, the more giddy I became. What a joy to stand in front of a mirror in good clothing and and look good! I wouldn't even go over there a couple months ago, nothing fit and a trial of depression was certain to occur.

A sales lady came over and I gushed out my entire WLS story to her. I don't know if she shared my enthusiasm or not, drunk people like me are more concerned with self expression than communication.

I didn't buy anything. At those prices I will hit my goal first. Got high nonetheless.

Sleeving is so very worth it!

thats so great that you were able to find more "form fitting" clothes. i am actually still "afraid" to go shopping. Afraid something i try on won't fit, and then i'll be disappointed.

a couple of weeks ago, i tried a pair of jeans on in about 3 sizes less than normal. They totally fit, but i didn''t want to spend money on something that won't fit soon. maybe i will stretch my wallet and buy the jeans anyways.

it is exciting fitting into new clothes - hard to believe thats you in the mirror. Who is that person?

bet you're happy to be seeing less of you.

keep on keepin on

The first time I tried on a real dress, a Little Black Dress at that, it was overwhelming, I couldn't believe that was me in the mirror and I just couldn't stop staring, turning this way and that. So high! =) And like with any high, you just want more =P hello motivation! =D

OMG, I love going into Forever 21 and buying sports jackets and tops. It's such a high. Can spend a lot of money if I'm not careful. I want to wait until my maintenance now. I still have some fears of reverting back to gaining weight. But, I'm not going to let that happen. Here's to healthy eating and a healthy new life style.

You go! So happy for you. I do know exactly how you feel. I put on my three sizes smaller clothes and stand in front of the mirror and just stare. I just can't believe that I am changing so fast. It really is amazing.

Unfortunately for me the high was brief, It was stunning to find myself in a 12, so cool! But now I've been in a 12 for like 7 months and I'm SO OVER IT, I'm fantasizing about being a single digit size and being able to bring my knee up to my chest in yoga without my gut in the way ...

It is fun isn't it! It is so nice to buy clothes because I like how they look on me and not just because I finally found something that fit and I could tolerate. I had this experience a few weeks ago at Dress Barn. I had tried on several tops and they all fit, but I didn't want to buy 5 tops. So, I'm standing there contemplating the shirts and it finally dawned on me that I should only buy the ones that look good, because 'just fitting me' isn't good enough anymore.

Thanks for sharing your story...

I am down to 253 now, 335 at my highest. My classy nephew gave me a very nice Kenneth Cole watch that I couldn't wear for a long time because it was too tight. Yesterday I looked at the time and just saw watch band. The thing had spun around my skinny wrist and the face was now underneath!

My wife had to put a little plastic tube thingy on my wedding ring to keep it from flying across the room during one of my gesturing rants!

The pants I bought a month ago now look like Bozo pants on me.

These things would be annoying if they weren't indicators of a tremendous victory in my life. I am still me underneath. Fat, you never did define me!!.!
