Minor Meltdown in Dressing Room

No longer in the 20's!!!! OK, so I had a minor meltdown in the dressing room today. I have been a size 20 something for YEARS!!!! I mean like forever! I never thought anything would go over my butt again that wasn't a 20, 22, 24, 26, 28...yes, 28, that is what I WAS before surgery. NOW, I AM AN 18!!!!!!! OMG! There were TEARS! BIG ONES!!! I know people were staring when I came out, but that is SOOOOO OK! I had tears but I was grinning from ear to ear!!! I am sure they were quite confused.

Lap-Band = BEST DECISION I HAVE EVER MADE!!!! :D

That's fantastic!

That is fantastic! What a great feeling! I just had that same thing happen to me. I cannot believe I own 18's and they fit!

Awsome! Keep up the good work. When I went shopping after reaching goal I kept taking sizes that were way to big into the dressing room. It was a great feeling.

Aww! Congrats. I was wearing 20s too! I was amazed at how quickly I dropped sizes. I'm in 4s now...loose 4s. :blush:

Congratulations!! I know how you feel. I seem to be stuck at a size 20

Congratulations - i'm so happy for you. That's even better than seeing it on the scale. You Go GIRL!!!!

That's a great meltdown to have..........LOL Congrats on your journey. We're going to have so many more choices for clothing after our victories. Keep up the good work.

That's awesome! I am trying to be like you by the end of April and get into 18's! I am a 20 now and they are tight so I got some work to do! Congrats!

Thanks, ya'll!!! I just had to post because I was so excited! I wish everyone good luck on their journey! Seeing NSV's like this just makes it all worthwhile!

How exciting for you! It is very inspirational! I can't wait to cry for joy for once in a dressing room!

Congratulations! Love to see such happy posts as this, they are great motivators. I had a similar experience this morning buying the first bathing suit in years. Planning to swim with my kids for the first time in about 3 years.
