What a fantastic feeling!

I had a big non scale victory today. I cleaned out my closet. I have been hording all the clothes that didn't fit for years and as you can imagine couldn't fit another piece of clothing into my small walk in closet. I kept thinking that someday I would eventually wear those smaller clothes again.

Well the day has finally come. I threw out size 2X, 1X, 18 and started on my size 16 clothes. I was shocked at how matronly some of the styles were. I was trying to cover up my expanding body and hating every minute of it. When I got to 238 lbs I thought I would die. I kept thinking my weight would stop going up and it never did.

Now I am buying size 14 and still wearing a few smaller size 16's. And I don't regain the weight. Even when I don't eat wisely, the most I gain is 1 1/2 to 2 lbs. It is so amazing! I love, love, love my band. And my husband is looking terrific with his lapband too. Together we have lost 130 lbs of ugly, uncomfortable weight. We feel fantastic. Now we are deciding how much more to lose. People are telling us we don't need to lose any more. We might still lose about 20 lbs each. It was the best money we ever spent.:wink:
