My 1st WOW moment....



Recommended Posts

It finally happened!! :embaressed_smile: I had a WOW moment. My clothes are getting too big so last night I was trying to find something to wear to church today. In going through my closet I ran across two brand new outfits that I order for Easter two or three years ago. I couldn't make up my mind which one I wanted so I ordered both! When they arrived they were too little and have hung there ever since. I was doubtful that I could wear them but decided to try them on to see if I was even close. Certainly did not want to skip by them and to my amazement they fit!!!! I could not be happier!! Now I just have to hem the pants and sleeves and I have two great outfits to wear. One is really spring/summer but I am going to wear it at least once!! LOL My DH is so proud of me! I also found a suit that had gotten two tight and it was loose! Down 2 sizes Yipeeeeeeee!!!!!! I feel like singing "I'm so excited, I just can't hide it!!!" :cursing:

Hehehe!! Isn´t it such an amazing feeling! I´m also down at least two sizes. I love that I bought some jeans a few months ago and I couldn´t even get the zip up. Now they´re just about hanging off my a$$.

I (heart) my band too. :-))

That is just fabulous! Congratulations!! Now just make sure you get rid of those bigger clothes - box them up, and get them out of your closet. You are going to need room for all the new stuff!

I am so excited for you! I can not wait to get there!!

The only thing that I can see/feel now is the fact that one pair of jeans that I hadn't been able to get into for months are now fitting again. I'm up to two pairs of jeans now!!!! :sneaky::thumbup: (I was getting so sick of wearing/washing all the time) but I had refused to buy any more obese jeans!!!

I've got clothes hanging in there now that range from a size 26 down to a 16 that I was into 6 years ago. (We did Atkins for a year+)

Again, congratulations!!! :smile2:

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
