How much weight did u lose b4 .....



Recommended Posts

I too am a teacher; however, my mother has clothes in her closet in all different sizes so I was fortunate to be able to wear some of her clothing for a little while. I did by me a couple of pants on sale mostly at Sears and Walmart because well I'm cheap. LOL Now, I have purchased a couple outfits a regular price now that I'm 69 pounds lighter. I still have at least 12 pounds to reach my goal.

I was unemployed and then working from home so my clothing situation was horrific! When I got a job and I had to go to the office everyday I had to buy 5 pair of pants because everything I had was from like 100 lbs ago.

Keep in mind I was 1 of those people who said that they would never ever ever buy clothes from a second hand store. Now it's where I buy most of my clothes. I would look for store located in 1 of the wealthier town or nearby because they have the best clothes. I also find the store Savers to be very organized and very clean and enjoyable to shop in.

Last week I bought a fleece jacket Lands End for 5 dollars A Talbots wool sweater for 5 dollars and a pair of corduroy pants for a $1.29.

Conversely as you're losing get rid of your fat clothes and donate them to 1 of the stores. Places like savers will give you a coupon for donating so you can take that and get money off the clothes you're buying!

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
