A Suggestion......

[blahblahblah 4]

Go to your local store where you normally shop and grab clothing in your old size and in your new size and in the next size down...

Put on the smallest size.....if it fits, REJOICE...if it doesn't....but on your old size and REJOICE anyway because you are SHRINKING!!!

Ok...dh took the kids yesterday and I went to Lane Bryant and tried on 16s...most of them fit me...some didn't (or didn't look good) so I went and found some 26/28s....I felt sooo good when I put them on...It was the best feeling ever!!!! And I was thinking about the times I would try on 26/28s and they wouldn't fit in....And here they were falling off of me!!! Truly, I cannot think of anything better...

Oh...and then try some clothes in your present size...guaranteed some of them will be too big.

HEAVEN...

and I didn't spend a red cent.

Have fun!

This is a great idea. I focus so much on the size I WANT to be or the next size to get to its a good idea to remind ourselves where we have been !

Awesome !

Rain,

i went from not being able to fit in clothes from The Avenue (30/32 wouldnt even button / zip / pull up) to almost not being able to shop at The Avenue because a 14/16 is starting to fit and will soon be too big...

woooooooo hooooooo!

I was doing some painting and need a shirt to throw over my good shirt I went and got an old work shirt XXL, put it on and it blew me away. I just could not believe that I use to fill that shirt out. I was standing there I just cry-ed. It was my oh wow moment. I have gone from a 24/26 to a 10.

That's a great idea!!!!

I own 2 pair of elastic denim pants, 3 white turtle necks, 3 blazer/jackets, 1 black elastic skirt.

I'm afraid to go shopping. I feel FATTER now than I did when I was a few sizes up...like a 10 or so.

Why is that? Maybe my problem areas are now visible instead of allover fat?

Oh, I'm a size 6 now.
