I am PETITE!!!!!! woo hoo



Recommended Posts

Have a big night at my job and I have to dress up. I shopped at Lane Bryant a while back and was in the 16W range. This time I went to Talbots where I always always for years and years and years wear WOMEN's Petite - ALWAYS. I was getting up to 18/20WP before surgery which was a lot of fabric.

But just looking at even the 14WP I was like, ummmm, no this won't work they are so big and kinda loose. I mean if it was in my closet I could wear it, but it wasn't flattering.

So I had to venture back out to the floor and go into the Petite Dept - the REGULAR Petite Dept, that is, and found some 14P and 16P that fit like a glove, of course buying as snug as possible.

It was fun.

I haven't been losing a lot of weight lately. But it is okay, I'm still shrinking evidently. I think my body is really re-adjusting b/c I am definitely getting smaller. And I have started swimming pretty regular.

Congrats! That is such a great feeling! I have a large range of sizes in my closet and I have decided to not go down to the next size until my current size is falling off of me so that I can enjoy that feeling of wearing the next size down comfortably. I am sure we are all tired of squeezing into a size just because!

I really have not noticed a big change since losing the first 16 pounds but I think my body may be adjusting to the weight loss as you stated above so I am just going to keep doing my post-op diet as directed and be patient.

Yeah! Have fun at your event, I am sure you will look stunning!!! Confidence sure does complete the new wardrobe, doesn't it!

Congratulations on graduating out of the WP sizes and into the P's. How cool is that! I hope you're really proud of yourself because you're doing an awesome job.

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!

      Today was rough...
      I've been experiencing a headache all day today that just won't go away. I'm thinking it's now progressing into a migraine. Does anyone else get headaches from taking vitamin B12? I did some research and learned that usually a lack of B12 causes headaches. But I've noticed when I take it, I have reoccurring headaches. 😫
