Sarahjane79 397 Posted March 30, 2014 Old Navy pants have never fit me right. Maybe when I'm a smaller person. Lol. You guys are making me sad they have never worked for me. So I had my most stressful week since surgery. We are having earthquakes left and right and I was rear ended on the freeway today while driving my dads luxury sport car. Awesome. Even more awesome? Girl who hit me has no insurance, car isn't registered and she's on probation. What a peach!!! I was so stressed out and it's interesting that my first instinct wasn't to eat! I am just now realizing it and I'm so proud of myself. But I am also so over today! Oh, Jen! That's terrible and awesome all at the same time! And honestly, I wasn't able to ever wear anything but either than size 18 or 20 old navy jeans, or plus size (which never worked for me) so I guess it'll be interesting to see how that works now. 1 Jencovi reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm fine. BFF was in the car and is also fine. Car is beat up but will live again. Lol. I LOOOOVE old navy. I buy tops and jewelry three and their little girls clothes are some of the CUTEST!!! I always buy too much for my baby when I'm there. But their pants have never been my friend. Lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm so glad you're both fine! Cars can be fixed, sometimes people can't be... I love me some old navy. And the gap outlet. And I'm so excited for this summer. Both places have such cure stuff and fun colors! I've bought 3 hoodies, mint green, kinda a bright tiffany blue, and a coral one. Im totally obsessed with these colors right now! They're all an xxl, but I havent been able to buy a zip up hoodie from there in probably 3 or 4 years! They fit, but are just "snug" enough that they look fine now, but I should be able to wear them for a minute yet. I'm much more excited that it colors though, and not black. Haha. And I love shopping for my friends kids there, oh man. SUCH cute stuff! Edited March 30, 2014 by Sarahjane79 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LeighAnneF 98 Posted March 30, 2014 YAY everyone!!!. We are all getting smaller, Jen, sorry to hear about your stressful day, but so glad you and your BFF are ok. I too went shopping this weekend, and am also down from a 26/28 to a 22/24 pants. And from 22/24 to a 18/20 top. Plus I am planning to attempt to make some alterations to a few of my other dress pants so I can coninue to wear them a bit longer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SuperFab 689 Posted March 30, 2014 Jeez, Jen, that sucks! I'm so sorry. But they're right, it could've been way worse. Thank goodness y'all are ok. Oklahoma has had so many earthquakes that it's unreal. Not huge, ground-ripping fissures, but about a 4.5 or so on the Richter. They seem to be everywhere. And it is scary and stressful. Leigh Anne, it is pretty awesome. I'm getting more and more motivated. I'm starting to feel and look better so I'm a happy girl. 1 Sarahjane79 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sarahjane79 397 Posted March 30, 2014 Guys! So, another nsv! I tried on a pair of size 20 Calvin Klein jeans I bought 5 years ago that never really fit that awesome when I bought em. THEY FIT ME PERFECTLY NOW! So I went from a 28-30 to a 20 in 5.5 weeks! Holy sh!t. I can't even believe it. They're in the wash now (they were in my closet and I'm not even sure I washed em after the last time I wore them) and I'll post a before and today pic when they're dry. I'M SO EXCITED! 4 moite1, LeighAnneF, onlybroomegirl and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And they say we have had 150 quakes in the last 24 hours. I have only felt 5-6 of them. But that's enough for me. It's so different when you have a kid. I just look around her crib and think "what could fall on her?" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I love this!!! Hooray! My bestie and I were together for 11 hours yesterday and she said she wants to have the sleeve. I told her about the wonderful people I have met on here and encouraged her to sign up for the site. I know I wish I would have gotten connected on here sooner. It made me think of you and your bestie. Edited March 30, 2014 by Jencovi 1 Sarahjane79 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It made me think of you and your bestie. Seriously. That's awesome! It is like me and my bestie. I know for me its nice to have someone who is enough ahead of me in this whole thing, to guide me, give me food suggestions, etc. And I imagine its nice for her to have someone that is going through what she is/has. And my other bff is starting the process. She has her psych eval Thursday. She's my real partner in crime (my bff that's had it lives an hour and a half away) and she's always been big. I want her to experience what I am. The happiness of seeing the pounds come off. The pants getting smaller. The overall just feeling GOOD. About life and yourself. Yay to us, and our future bffs that will join us! 2 Jencovi and SuperFab reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sarahjane79 397 Posted March 30, 2014 As I am growing up... My besties and I are growing apart I'm so sorry! I was worried that the bff that's starting the process this week and I would grow apart. She loves to eat and eats far too much all too often. I'm hoping she's ready for this... i do fear if for some reason she doesn't follow through with this, that our friendship will suffer. Her life revolves around food, and since surgery, mine hasn't. And as in lose wight and can do more active things and she cant..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cwang2680 79 Posted March 30, 2014 All my dearest friends are smaller than me so part of my motivation was tired of being the the fat friend. They have all been very supportive. I love all of them so much & they are all trying to understand. Those that I work with that I would have lunch with that want to talk I invite them to the gym with me. Since I can't eat out and I have unlimited guest passes @ my gym they meet me on my my new terms. Two if them have now signed up for the gym! I'm encouraging people I care about to "support me". They are doing me a favor. Lol. (Suckers) I know some relationships will change but I'm working hard not to loose any of them. Oh by the way down another 1.2 lbs this morning. Very happy the scale moving down. That is a total loss of 27.7 lbs since surgery. 1 SuperFab reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
