Real Shopping

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!

  5. WOW....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.

  6. Drazil, thank you! Such an ego boost. ;)

    Ladies 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.

  10. I 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.
