Clothes
 

I know I have only lost 14 lbs, but it really makes a difference, even that little amount. I went to Taget today and tried on some 3x, not only did they fit, but they were big. I even tried on a 2x dress, and I looked hot. My husband couldn't stop talking about the dress on the way home. My girlfriends were all out for the world to see, but he liked it..:devil:

It fells good to go from wearing the largest size you could find (and it was tight) to trying on something in a smaller size and its too big.

Even tonight I had to step away from the guacamole and chips and let me hubby have them. Because the last time I didn't step away I gained two pounds.

I am really looking forward to being smaller. I would love to sit on a plastic chair and not be afraid that I will not fit, or that it will break. I would love to go to an amusement park...I don't go because I am too fat, and know the bar will not click. I would love to walk in public and know they are looking at me because I am cute and not fat.

Just some insecurities I need to overcome. Most of my adult fat life I was insecure but when my boyfriend once told me "I love big women, but I would never want to be with somebody that is over 300 lbs" Little did I or he know at that time I was 330. I didn't think it was a problem until I started noticing people treating me different then before when I was thinner.

I need to start a thread about discrimination, and how to get over it.

Off the subject...oh well...Tanya

Way to go. That is great about the smaller size. It only gets better. I also cant wait to get my confidence back!!!

Congratulations, Tanya! And happy birthday - the 21st is mine, too! AND I'm moving to San Antonio in 2 weeks!! Small world!!! :D

buying smaller clothes is fantastic!

now if only we had some kind of clothing giveaway thread on here...i've got a new pair (worn once) of black pants that are adorable, but are way too baggy on me. oh well, goodwill or salvation army will have quite a selection of plus sizes when i'm done with my journey!

Hey all!

The sisters won't let you do clothing give-aways! We tried on the 300+ boards once. Something about not wanting it to become that kind of "buy-sell-trade" site. Pity really.

You are right - the clothes are the BEST! I'm wearing a dress today that was almost too tight when I bought it - years ago. I just really liked it so I never gave it away when it got too small. Today, it's positively BAGGY! Even the sleeves, which were SO Tight when I bought it I was considering doing some cosmetic surgery on it to make them bigger.

Actually gets annoying sometimes having nothing the right size to wear - but WHAT a feeling when they get too big!
