WOW WOW WOW moment!!
I went to Walmart tonight to buy some new scrubs for work. Everyone at work has been bugging me to get some that fit me to show off my new "skinny self" (as THEY say, not me lol). Well, I cried in the fitting room!! I fit into.... I still can't believe it.... a size LARGE!  I cannot remember the last time I fit into a size large. I feel AMAZING!!!!!! Thank you everyone for all of your support. I feel great!

WOO HOO, Michelle!! Way to go!! I'm still waiting for that "large" but I'm still thrilled to be in a 2x after wearing a 5x. I couldn't even wear the scrubs the hospital provided us so I always had to buy my own.
Now go and show off that "skinny self" in those new scrubs of yours!!

Amazing. I usually had to change into scrubs at the hospitals and use the ones available. It always caused me anxiety as they didn't stock my size all the time and I had to hide them in my locker when they became available. It is nice to have a rack full to pick from now!!!
Great going!!!!!
