I went shopping yesterday and actually made a purchase instead of trying things on like last time. My sizing is all over the place. Obviously because sizes vary, but also because I don't know what size I am. Ron "insisted" I try things on that I swore wouldn't fit. They actually did fit. Even though they don't fit perfect right now they will eventually fit. He says I need to think of the future not just today. One of the tops I bought was a tank top in a 2X... I am still stunned. Even a dress that said it was an 18 (which I highly doubt it since it fit). I am shocked that I am thinner. Did any of you feel this way when you first noticed that you were getting smaller? I know most of it is pre-surgery weight loss, but I am still amazed that I have shrunk and am continuing to shrink. I know have a few bits of clothes that actually fit and I feel comfy in. Hopefully that is enough to hold me over for a few months or so.
The big shocker of the day was when I tried on a mini skirt in a 24 and it fit! Yes, I did buy it. The second I walked out of the fitting room the sales lady said that I looked good. I even tried on some jeans this time since I could move easier this go around. they were from Lane Bryant and they were their Fit Right (???) brand and they were a 22 and I thought they should have been tighter. I am an apple shape and I felt they were too loose around the butt and thigh area. I am stunned that those numbers would even go over my feet and ankles let alone my body.
A better me is coming out one pound at a time.
Have a great day all!
Same thing happened to me! I bought a dress this weekend and it is a size 18! Crazy but it sure did feel good. :)
ReplyDeleteI still do it almost 6 months out... I feel like I'm being punked!
ReplyDeletethat is awesome! i agree with grace, just today as i tried on jeans at old navy in an 18 i was waiting for ashton to pop in the dressing room lol
ReplyDeleteLove this - you're stunning now - I can't imagine as the pounds come off. Look out world - here you come!
ReplyDeleteWOW....22! You are shrinking out of site woman! My pants that I was going to send you definitely would fall off you. Mine are a 28 blue dot (LB). You would have been swimming in them LOL.
ReplyDeleteHave a blast in Vegas...I love going to Vegas, although I don't care for slot machines or poker, go figure LOL.
Drazil, thank you! Such an ego boost. ;)
ReplyDeleteLadies for the record I will say I was wearing a 30/32 in May when I had to lower my BMI in order to get a surgery date. All of this just blows my mind. I can't believe I have lost 52 pounds since May 18th.
Oh isn't it a wonderful feeling fitting into smaller sizes!
ReplyDeleteI love trying on clothes to find they are too big:)
ReplyDeleteWow! Your progress is just amazing! Keep up the great work!
ReplyDeleteI TOTALLY felt the same way. And you're going to continue to feel this way for a long time, too! Even now...almost two years later, my brain still has a hard time catching up to my weight loss.
