Tomorrow is jean day at my work and I needed to go buy some new britches. It was a very full circle day for me. One of the "ah-ha" moments for me was about a year ago at the Gap. I went in to buy some jeans and the 14's were way too tight, and they were out of 16's. So I left with no pants, and the realization that my weight had gotten to a point where I could not find a size in a "normal" store, only in plus size stores. Today, when I went into that same Gap, I started with the 12's - too big, the 10's - still a little too big. I left with a SIZE 8! (They are snug as a bug, but I am still about 20 pounds from my goal) A size 8 and a SMALL t-shirt. It was exhilarating. I am so thankful to my surgeon and the support from this listserv. It played a critical role in me making the decision to get sleeved 4 months ago. I feel like a new woman!

Big hurrah!! That's is a terrific story! Did you dance your way out of the store?

That is AWESOME!!!! Congrats, girl! Keep up the awesome work! Dang, where is that last 20 lbs gonna come from?! :001_smile:

Absolutely fabulous, congrats on your new jeans ! ! !

Congratulations! That is a great victory!!!

Congrats! Haven't been to GAP in years I get too depressed. So happy for you! looks like size 6 is in your future!!!

D.

Wow, that's great!! What an accomplishment, and in only four months...you ARE rockin' that sleeve!! Such an inspiration...I can't wait until I can actually buy pants that aren't double digits...lol!!

I cannot wait to get this butt into an 8 (or 12, 10 even). GREAT WORK!!!!
