I know that title seems really strange...but the other day I stopped by a dept. store and realized that I had "crossed over" from the larger women's sizes to the "regular" women's sizes. When I started this journey I wore a size 26W...I was able to put on a pair of capri pants in a size XL (and was still able to breathe). I still need a 1x top...but my bra size has also gone down 2 sizes. I decided to post here because when I tried to tell my husband about this amazing feat he just ignored me. I know all you girls understand and wanted to Celebrate with those who understand that a 10 size difference is HUGE.

Stepping off my pedistal now...

Awesome! Going from a 26 down to normal sizes is a HUGE accomplishment. Way to go!!

That is amazing! Shake that man! I'm dreaming of the day where shopping with friends means shopping in the same section! Congrats! Don't let anyone make it less important than it truly is!

Wow that is awesome! Good for you!!

Awesome!! I think your hubby needs a back slap!!

He ignored you, not because he is male, he ignored you because he either doesn't have a weight problem or doesn't care if he does. Believe me when I was able to stop shopping in the Fat and Tall section it was a really big deal to me. Now, as soon as I am able to fit into a new size, I won't wear anything else. It took my wife a while to catch on as well, but she now understands that it is important for my self image to look my best, so this last shopping trip she was combing the clearance racks for anything in my new size, which is how I ended up with a pair of Angry Birds boxers.

What a HUGE accomplishment!! Something like that can really help put all of your hard work and dedication into perspective! It obviously paid off!! Keep up the great work and watch how quickly you're going to share another story about when you're smaller!! So happy for you!

That's awesome! Congrats!!

That must have felt tremendous! It's a huge accomplishment. OMG regular clothes. (I can't wait.)

So happy for you

What an awesome accomplishment!! Congratulations!!

woo hoo!!! 10 sizes is a great accomplishment!!

That is very exciting. I can't wait for that moment. I've always been embarrassed to go into stores that may not sell plus size fashions. I went shopping in a regular store once for my Mom and a sales clerk approached me to tell me that they didn't sell anything over 14. My worst nightmare had come true. I left that store in tears.

I can't wait to go back to that store...try on thousands of dollars worth of clothes, get them all to the register and rung in and then tell them I've changed my mind and leave!

Good for you...celebrate!!!!

Whoo hoo!! I am so happy for you, that has always been a dream of mine, and can't wait! Enjoy your victory, and I am sure your husband is happy for you in his own way

That is awesome!!!! He may not be excited but we are! WooHoo!
