It is called trying on all your old clothes!!!!!! Funnest game ever I tell you. The older and smaller the clothes the more fun the game. Can I just tell you that I have a LOT of fun today! I have been in elastic land for years... well tonight I re-enter the land of buttons and zippers!!!! I am in tears as I write this.

The washer is now washing 6 pair of jeans that haven't seen the light off day in 5 years! I am so thankful for this surgery!

I am also thankful to all of you ... you are always here to listen when I am upset, frustrated or angry. You are here to cheer me on and to be happy with me and for me. You guys are amazing!

It will be REALLY fun when I can fit back into the clothes in the garage that are 8's and 10's from when I lost a lot of weight with WW...it'll be like having a whole new wardrobe without the cost. Oh..also: my girlfriend works at a salon where they have 2 closet size changing rooms where clients can take off their shirt and put on a smock to avoid stains from the color. I was there late one night when Jackie said that these 2 black jackets had been in there for months and what do they do with this stuff. The manager said that they give it away to Salvation Army. I asked if I could have the jackets because one was a black leather jacket that went to right below the knees - size 8 BARNEY New York jacket!!! The other was a quilted waist length jacket also size 8 made by DKNY!!! Can we say score for next winter?! I am so excited

Way to go Gina...

Now I can look forward to getting all those space bags down from the rafters in the garage. I know most of that stuff hasn't seen light (or air) for almost 8 years!

I have cleaned out my big clothes, and have no more clothes that fit me. I have three pair of baggy cotton pants. I am now smaller than I have been in over 20 years. Now I have to buy temp smaller clothe as I lose the last 40 lbs...It's way cool! Suzy

That is such a cool game...can I play with you??? There is so much that I kept on the way up. I wonder how much will fit the same way as our bodies have changed so much. I think the smallest size I have is a 16...after that it is off to the stores!!!
