Shopping!

[Sleevie.Nicks 27]

Yes! Feels wonderful! Went to Old Navy a couple days ago just to try on things for the fun of it because I could!

omg!!!! Success all over that's amazing I can't wait to get my life back and start this journey && actually be healthy and happy!!

Enjoy this journey! It's simply amazing. Is it easy- no but well worth it! I'm down 96lbs since my surgery 3.5 months ago. Best thing I've ever ever done (well minus my husband and kids). The confidence I have now- huge! I have bones in my body that I didn't know existed- well at least not for the past 8 years! Haha. But seriously soak this process in and enjoy the ride!

hats awesome thanks so much!!!

Protip: Find a high-end consignment (used) clothing shop and shop out of that as you're losing weight. There are wonderful choices out there that are a small, small fraction of retail. Besides, you won't be wearing some of these clothes for long.

P.S. I bought a St. John suit yesterday for $42. I bet that sucker sold for at least $1200 new. It's still in great condition.

I went shopping for jeans yesterday. I started with a size 16 (2 sizes down from my old size) and worked my way down to a 10 which was still too big. I sat down and cried. I am 56 years old and have not been a 10 since high school. It was a very, very weird feeling to me and I was completely overwhelmed. I actually left the store without buying a thing. So surreal, this new feeling. How does my head not see the amount of weight lost? I mean, I know I have lost weight, but my eyes just don't see how much, I guess.

I also can't wait for that. Right now I am at the stage of realizing that most of my clothes that fit before surgery are too loose and I am now able to fit into some of my old clothes that used to be too tight. I can't wait the first time I can shop in a normal size store.

It's amazing. I went from tight 3x and I'm currently in a large. Some brands I wear a medium. Being able to pick out of normal stores is so amazing to me.

I donated almost all my old clothing! I have to shop at least that the excuse I use! I love it when the choice is between a small and medium!
