Default Wow -- My Clothes Fit! (aaannd pictures)

It's always frustrating to have to lose "regained" weight. And it's even more frustrating to have a whole wardrobe of clothes that DOESN'T fit...

In fact, that "thinner" wardrobe has been sitting in a box ever since I moved back to L.A. from Kentucky a year and a half ago.

On Saturday, with everything in my closet a little TOOO loose to wear, I decided to really delve into the boxes and start trying to stuff on...

and guess what??? They ALL fit!!! In fact, some pants that were tight when I bought them, are now LOOSE! WOO HOO!!! (it saves me from buying new clothes right now, when I really need to save for buying at goal clothes!)

And the fact that NO ONE here has seen the old clothes, they look new to everyone!

Now, I really need to cull out my closet to make room for the "old" new stuff -- and wash ALL of it and get some dry cleaned.. and then hang it all up (uughhh.. MORE laundry!?!?)

I also went into Ann Taylor yesterday to try on dresses for a wedding I'm attending next month -- and when I started I wasn't able to fit into their size 14 dresses (they usually didn't fit my bust... even though I'm NOT busty, I have a broad chest) -- yesterday I fit into a 12 and a 10!!!!!!

Anyway, it's all very exciting... and it's nice to actually start seeing some major changes. I'm going to attach a couple pictures -- because the first picture just shocked the heck out of me today when someone put it up on facebook... I just can't believe how much I've changed... I'm also putting up the only picture I have of my body now, kinda -- it's my backside... but I really notice a difference in the size of my whole body -- and the noticeable LACK of back fat!

Annd a picture of my face -- it's changed shape too... (and that's a diet coke I'm drinking...)

You guys are sooo inspirational, and while I may post just every once in a while, I'm reading everything every day... and just reading your posts gives me the courage to keep moving forward! You guys are awesome!

You're beautiful....both before and after. I like the pic of your backside, lol, it does show off your new shape! Isn't fitting into skinnier clothes the best motivation ever! Keep up the great work!

Well, I don't know about you, but I'd have to say that's probably the best laundry day you could ever possibly have. Look at the positive side, if you didn't have to launder your "new" clothes, that would mean you never lost the weight in the first place.

Oh, and congrats! It feels good, doesn't it?

Congrats!! It's always interesting to see people of the same height and weight and how sizes compare. I'm about exactly the same as you, and I would kill to be in a 12 or 10 dress! Everyone is built so different. But again, congrats on the progress!!

The difference is totally noticable, especially in your face. Your doing a wonderful job! It's such a reward to be able to fit back into clothes that you have long since gotten to big for, keep up the good work!
