I am PETITE!!!!!! woo hoo

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.
