  • Okay so this is just a little mini goal... but I'm proud nontheless! Today I went dress shopping for my upcoming aunt's wedding. The dress I wanted, of course did not come in my usual 10 size! They had it in an 8.

    The stringbean of a sales clerk handed it to me and said "Try it on, you may be surprised!!"

    I think I snorted/laughed/gagged in her face... but to appease her, went into the dressing room and tried it on.

    Inwardly, I SCREAMED.... It fit!!!!!!!! An 8?!?! 8?!?! I had been a 10, even a 12 for the longest time!

    Thinking this was a fluke, I then proceeded to try on several other 8's to see if they fit as well.

    All were a LITTLE snug, but all got zippered without leaving any flesh hanging out. And I was able to comfortably breathe!

    Sorry... just had to share in my excitement!!!!!!!!
    Thanks for the support!! Now I'm shooting for a 6!
  • That's awesome, congratulations!!

    DO NOT apologize, it is extremely exciting to lose sizes, and reading about victories like yours motivates me even further!
  • That's so exciting! I think 8 would be my dream size. Way to go!
  • Oh how exciting! I totally get how wonderful it is to fit into a single digit clothing item! Have a wonderful time at the wedding!
  • Congrats!!
  • Thanks guys!!! And GenetJen, you must be close to an 8! We weigh almost the same!

    I'm MOST happy that I will be okay with people making me take pictures with family at the wedding. I used to HATE having my picture taken -- now I can stand it. lol
