My first NSV :)

Today I thought I would hit the shops and see if I could get anything in the after Christmas sales. I don't really want to spend too much money on new clothes, because I am hoping that they won't fit me for long, and that it will end up being a waste if I buy a whole new wardrobe at each new size I fit into.

Anyway I went to David Jones (Australians will know the store) to the bigger girls section, where I have bought most of my casual clothes over the years, they make funkier type t-shirts and tops and pants for us younger crowd. So I was rummaging through a table of tshirts that were on sale. I used to fit into a XL from there so I thought I would try a Large, why not, I thought I've lost a big of weight?!?! It was WAY too big! So then I tried a Medium! Still a little too big, given a couple of weeks, it would no doubt be swimming on me. So I bought a SMALL!!! Its a tighter fit than I would have worn at my biggest, but heck, I have a waist and hips again (As opposed to being a big beachball shape!) So I am going to show off my curves.

I guess the next step from here is to start shopping in the "normal" sized section, size 16, here I come!! :clap2:

You go girl!!!!! I can't wait to shop in the 'normal' size stores again. You should be incredibly proud of yourself! What a way to start the new year! Suzy

That is excellent news. I know I nearly fell over when I hit the 20 mark on the bottom. I want to get down 1 more size that is for sure. Congrats. Keep up the good work.

Wow she smiles that is fabuless! my mom came around today to pin some old outfits of mine to try and take them in for now. I too have a problem spending money on new clothes which I am not going to be in for long... but I have made a pact with myself that when I get down to under 100kg (220lbs) I am going to atleast get a few mixables ie trousers, tops, skirts to keep me going until I get down to my goal of 80kgs (176lbs). i am 115kgs (250lbs) at pressent. But you go girl! it feels good doesn't it!
