dadici 21 Posted December 28, 2012 So I'll be 2 months out Monday. Yesterday I decided to go try on pants, didn't think I would actually buy since my "skinny" pants aren't *that* loose. Today I'm wearing a brand new pair of size 16s! The last time I was a 16 I was a sophmore in high school. I shopped in the "regular" department - I don't know the last time I even went in the regular department! I was kind of embarrassed to even be over there at first, I felt like people would see me and think "who does that fat girl think she's fooling?" I'm so excited, I think maybe there was a part of me that didn't really believe the sleeve would work, even though I've been loosing weight - somehow new pants make it real! 3 SusieK710, The redhead and Justwander reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Threetimesacharm 1,400 Posted December 28, 2012 I totally know where you are coming from. I felt the same way buying pants and I ended up buying a size 11!! It is a new, wonderful feeling to NOT be shopping in the fat section. Somewhere inside you think you should still be there even though you truly do not. Great Job wearing a size 16, you ROCK those pants!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Great Job wearing a size 16, you ROCK those pants!! Congrats on the 11 that is awesome! I really want to end up at a 10 I think...it's hard for me to imagine since I've litterally never been anywhere close to that! I'm short so I would also be thrilled if I could fit into normal petits and not have to get everything hemmed! I wonder how long that awkward feeling will last? I was seriously blushing as I walked through the department - I'm not sure how long it will take for me to get my nerve up to go into one of the little boutique stores or some place like Gap or whatever. I am so excited to have non-department store shopping options! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
