no more plus sizes

I was going to wait until after Christmas to buy some clothes as my pants are so loose that I can pull them down without unbuttoning them. Liz Clayborne had a great one day sale- everything 40% off. Well I bought and can fit into a size 16!!! Bought a size med and a size large top as well (fit!). No more X or XL or 1X.

Yahoo.

Fantastic! I also went down a size but will in the "plus" section of the store...for now! Congrats!

This is the sweetest victory of all, I think. I will never enter My Size or 1626 again (the main 2 plus size stores here in Australia). Looking objectively, they have lovely clothes in larger sizes but all they represent to me is exclusion and I am glad to never ever need them again.

For me this was the biggest goal and one of the main reason for getting banded. I know health reasons etc. are the worthy goals, but secretly- I must be very vain because I have always hated shopping in plus stores. I see such lovely things every where and could never wear them. This is a dream come true. (its been more then 25 years).

Losingjusme: You'll get there, start saving now. I have alot more weight to loose, so I had to really restrain myself and walk away before I spent needlessly.

This is a huge goal for me too. I was wearing 18W when I had the surgery. A 16W is probably what would work best for me now, but I am NOT buying any more plus-size clothes! I tried on about 10 pairs of regular size 16 pants at Stein Mart the other day and I'm not quite there yet, so I'm just going to be wearing baggy pants for the next few pounds.
