this is the last time you'll see me like this? This is the last time I'll fly and not be able to fit my butt in the seat? This is the last time I'll wear this outfit? Are you cleaning out closets (I don't need to hang onto last winter's clothes, do I?). Are you getting out clothes you haven't worn in years? Are you thinking about the things you will now be able to do?

Yes

:')

Yes, I felt that way preop. It's Awsome.

Not any more, now I'm thinking that I am going to buy only the cloths that I truly love! But did for quite a while.

I pulled out every clothes and put biggest18 to smallest 10(except what I am wearing now size wise 20) in a tote and I can't wait to start going through them!! and last year I could not fit into a ride at the amusement park, that I will def ride next sumer.

I haven't gone through my closet at all. I think things will keep fitting for a while yet.

I am concerned about the expense of buying all new clothes, from undies to parka. Will we need more narrow shoes, too?

All the time!! Far better to think those things instead of

"wonder if this will be too small?"

Will it hide the jiggly parts (though we all know, clothes don't hide it, they just make it more obvious we are trying to hide a HUGE body)?

will this still fit next month, week, year? or will I have to go up ANOTHER size?

I love going through old clothes and fitting. Some clothes I bought, not because I liked them, but because they fit. I now, too, only wear what I truly love.

I think of all the things that I can do, hike ( I actually hiked to the top of a mountain! a small mountain, but still a mountain!!) long walks, Zumba, fun days with my nephews and everything that I wanted to do but was too fat, ugly, self conscious and exhausted to do. I am so much more active, confident and happy!!
