Okay, so for those looking to be a size XS or X or even M, this might not be a huge deal, but I've been looking forward to getting out of XXL and 1X and 2X for a loooong time and to get to walk into a Macy's and buy not one, not two, but THREE tops at size XL and have them FIT and look GOOD makes me soooooooo happy.
Yeah, I still have a long way to go.
Yeah, I'm still nowhere near my goal weight or goal size.
But I'm so dang happy to have been able to shop in the Juniors department at Macy's and pull three XL tops off the racks and bring those babies home with me that I had to share my happy dance!
Still haven't lost 20 pounds yet, but clearly I'm losing some bulk from somewhere. Waist is down four inches and I'm feeling great!
I'll take it!
Please, let's all remember to celebrate the little victories along the way. It's so easy to get discouraged when we're nowhere near GOAL or having scale-based setbacks for more than a moment.
I love this forum because it really does encourage us to celebrate the WINS at every stage of this journey (and it really is a journey).
Thanks, 3FC'ers, all, for the support and encouragement.
On my way to L, baby!
