I had a personal mini-triumph moment today. I was at the gym and I asked a girl where she got her really cool pants. She said she got them at blah blah blah store and I asked her if she knew if they carried plus sizes. She gave me this confused up-and-down stare then said "I think they do, but you're not a plus size". Now, perhaps her gauge of sizes on people is a bit skewed, but her comment made me so giddy inside that I sailed through my workout!

THATS AWESOME!!!!!! WOOT WOOT! Lol thats so great! I can't wait for the day someone says that to me! That's awesome! Hehe.Just keep reminding yourself of what she said, and your workouts will get better and better Congrats!

Thats a great NSV!
That proves that you look better than you think that you do!
Congratulations!!!

That is great!

That's wonderful! Bet that DID make your day!!!

How long has it been since you last bought clothes? I ask because I started at 201# and right about your weight I walked into a plus sized store and was proptly told thier regular sized store was next door. Turns out while some stuff in the plus size store fit, for the most part everything was too big.

I am sure it made your workout go by so much faster. You obviously must look great. Way to go!

It's been a while, actually. I'm still wearing my Lane Bryants, but the 18s that fit perfectly last summer now need belting! I actually have mostly knit pants (yep, even dress pants) that I bought while I was gaining weight so they should be good for another 20lbs or so (it's amazing how fabrics can stretch!). Once I get down around 160 I think I'm going to go to the mall, walk right past LB, and go buy myself a new mini-wardrobe at NY&co.

And thanks for the support, everyone! This place is truly the best!

WTG.. those comments really help keep you headed in the right direction, don't they..?? I can't wait fo rthe day my MIL doesn't give me any more shirts saying here hom i bought this and it's too big for me.. mayb eit'll fit you.... grrrrr.. I know she doesn't mean it to be mean.. but it still is sooo annoying..

Good for you! What a great feeling that must have been.
