Clothes - clothes and more clothes

Yesterday I decided to go shopping. I have bought a few things that fit me but you can count them on one hand. I brought home a bag full, things were on sale and a good price. I hate to try on in store so I bring it home. Usually most of it goes back. I bought all XL. I wore a 24 5 months ago and can not remember when I ever and I mean ever wore an XL. I tried them all on and they all fit wonderfully. I couldn't believe how little I looked. Then I did the unthinkable. I took everything that was in my cupboard and folded it up for the thrift store. Today I took it there. All my big clothes are gone. I have hardly anything in my closet clothes wise but I have enough until I lose another 45 lbs and the XL are all baggy. What an NSV this was for me.

My the way has anyone noticed how clothes are getting bigger and they put a small size on them. When I weighed 140 lb I wore a 14. My granddaughter weighs 180 lb and wears a 14. So I guess all my hoopla about being in an XL is really like being in a 1X back in the day.

Yay! That's an awesome story... Pretty soon you will be in a size small

I thought the size of clothes were larger....you just confirmed it!

I just did the same thing! People were making fun of me for my saggy butt! So..I just packed up all my BIG clothes (I wore a 24-26) to give to my friend who had bypass surgery. I can now wear a large & XL! The best thing is I can shop in the "reg" side of the store & not the "Big" side!! :-)

Congrats to you! Just last week I too was able to move from the Women's World Section at the store to the regular misses. I was over the moon happy! Keep up the good work!

Me too! I went to The Avenue for the last time last week. I went to buy size 14 pants for work and they were too big!!!!! So excited!! Now I'm shopping at Kohl's, Old Navy, and of course the consignment shops for clothes. Don't want to spend too much money on clothes that will only fit me for a few months. Hooray!!!!

Isn't it just the greatest feeling? I have become such a shopaholic for clothes now that it is so fun to have cute clothes fit. To me it is one of the best NSV there is.
