Shopping for New Clothes



Recommended Posts

Today has been an awesome day. For the first time, in i can't remember how long, I actually enjoyed shopping. I will be 6 months post-op on the 23 rd. I have lost 87 lbs. it was time for new shirts as my old ones were almost to my knees. I was pleasantly surprised when a Large fit. Needless to say I haven't been in this size in almost 19 years. I actually started crying in the dressing room. No longer in the plus size! So to all of just starting this journey DO NOT GIVE UP! It is so worth the work and has changed my life. There will be plateaus, just stick with the program and move. I broke my foot from all the walking I was doing and wasn't able to exercise. I just stuck with the eating program and continued to lose about a pound a week vs 4-5 with the exercise. Foot is all healed and got to start moving again this week and the scale is dropping again. Best of luck in your journey!

On a side note someone that had not seen me since surgery called me little today! She made my day. Have a great weekend everyone,

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
