THEY FREAKIN' FIT! and well too!

I'm totally beside myself. This week's weight loss has put me at a lower weight than the lowest weight I remember being, which was 186 when I was in 8th grade 22 years ago. I don't even know what to say. I've only got 15 lbs to hit my goal and then I know I've got a good 15-20 lbs of loose skin all over my body. I'm wearing medium shirts now - after another 30 lbs (hitting goal and plastic surgery) am I going to a... can I even say it... SMALL?!!

First thing that went through my head when I read your post was "Holy crap!"

I'm so proud of you and so excited for your excellent experience at Charlotte Russe! What a totally awesome feeling first of all to be able to find something in that store that fits and fits so freakin' good! YAHOO!!!

I know you were on cloud nine girl! Keep it up because I know it's only going to get better for you AND all of us! Stories like these really keep me inspired and hopeful that I too will one day be able to find something to wear in that store.

I told my husband Bill one day, "One of my goals is to go inside of Charlotte Russe and buy myself an outfit there that fits!" He just smiled at me and told me it would happen. This man who hates shopping for clothes, has great taste and has purchased me some items of clothing. For example, he bought me a "Fetish" mini skirt that is a size 12 and does have some stretch to it, but when I saw it and put it in front of me, I told Bill, "Honey, this isn't going to fit me." He said, "Just try it on. I bet it will." So, I went into the bedroom for a more dramatic reaction when I came out and it freakin fit too! He was not only proud of his purchase, but proud of me for my success.

Isn't life grand?
