One weird thing that I looked forward to, and have now achieved, is having my Wii Fit tell "You're normal!!" instead of "You're overweight!" For some reason, I was really offended when that playful little voice pointed out this obvious fact. When it finally weighed me and said I was normal, I was like "Hah! Take that Wii Fit, I'm NORMAL now!"
I found this absolutely adorable!
I think if I were to step on a Wii Fit, it would cough, hack, then keel over.
I want to get some mileage out of a stupidly expensive skirt that I only wore once before gaining weight again. I wore it last Christmas and I plan to wear it next year. Maybe the goal isn't so crazy, but the cost of the skirt was. lol
I have a really gorgeous skirt that I bought when I was very thin and I haven't worn it even once because it was on sale and by the time the season came around (spring/summer), I could not longer fit into it. This time, I'm hoping that by spring/summer, I'll fit into it perfectly! It's crazy because this is the kind of skirt you would wear to a baby shower or something, so I hope someone I know will invite me to some occasions where it would be appropriate! If not, I'll have to make up a reason!
Redreine, I think you're right! I will just go ahead and wear the darn thing! Regarding those awful people that make fun of your weight.....I believe in Karma. They'll get theirs. I wish there weren't any bad people on this planet, but there are. Anyway, just hang in there and never think of yourself as looking "gross," no matter what you're doing.

I have the opposite problem! I have two beautiful dresses that are starting to get too big, but they have spaghetti straps and I've never worn them because I look horrible in spaghetti staps. So yesterday I found a little black half jacket to wear them. I just told DH we need to go on a date before I can no longer wear these dresses. I suppose for the purpose of this thread, I should be looking forward to not being able to wear these dresses.
Here's one: I can't wait to walk in the store and know, for the most part, that I am a size /blank/!! Take yesterday to understand my frustration:
I went to Fashion Bug determined to walk out with a pair of pants and a shirt that actually fit this new body. I love their Right Fit line. Size 1 fits but is loose, and since I'm losing I wanted to buy something a little tight. So I asked what's smaller than a 1. A size 13 of course?? There were no 13's so I moved on to "regular" sizes. Ha! 16W's were too big, 16's wouldn't button and one pair of 16 wouldn't even go on my leg!! For shirts, one XL was painted over my chest and another was dripping huge on me.
I don't particularly enjoy shopping anyway, so this frustration was just really disappointing.
We have a store here called Deb's, and that store frustrates me.
I typically get an XL wherever I go, but not Deb's. There, I'm an XXXL.
Also, they're one of those stores that (and I really don't get this) have adorable clothes for thin girls, and adorable clothes for very large girls, but everything in between is hideous...like they couldn't be bothered!

This reminded me of something. I told my bf last week, that I can't wait until the wii fit BMI bar moves from the very top. Even though I've lost almost 20 pounds...the bar that moves up and down the BMI scale is stuck on the very top. >.<
I can't wait until I can see something nice at the clothing store and grab it off the rack without wondering if it will fit. Or looking at the back of the rack to see if they have it in my size.
