In a couple of weeks the company I work for is having their annual sales univ here in town that I have worked at for many years. There is a large group if people that I talk with all year round but only see face to face here at this meeting. I hope to make the 100 pound loss by then and I do feel better about myself even though I still have another 100 to go. My question is do I wear the clothes I have that are all to big or splurge and get some things that show off what I've accomplished so far? I'm very proud of what I've done but don't want to be that heavy gal flaunting it. An I making sense? I really want to but don't know if I should. I could really use some advice. Thanks in advace.

Congrates!!!! Show it off!! Go out and buy that new outfit!!

I say splurge and show off your accomplishments!! Try a thrift store if you can. They often have many great things! Good luck

Splurge and buy a new outfit!!! You will look amazing and well put together. I think you might get more attention with baggy clothes that are obviously too big for the new skinny minny you!

Indeed, buy something to wear. Not only do you deserve it. But aren't ya just plain tired of wearing super baggy clothes?

Show off! You worked hard for your weight loss and deserve to look your best.

Noo...you need to go out and buy a new amazing outfit. You need to look fabolous!!! :-). Show it uff.

Buy the new outfit. You will feel and look great. And you deserve it!

Splurge you will feel so confident and everyone will notice. And an added bonus you will love shopping.

I agree with the others that new clothes are a must - I don't think you will be perceived as flaunting it. I think clothes that fit properly will give you a boost in confidence and allow you to be perceived as strong and confident. We all go through stages of wearing baggy clothes as we lose weight, but this is a chance for you to really shine. Have fun shopping!

Splurge!!!! Have fun and you should post some progress pics - almost 100 pounds, that's really incredible =) I hope I can join you in the century club someday!

Splurge..you need to show off..you have earned it!

The answer to this question lies inside your heart. How do you feel about the attention that will come your way if you "show it off". Are you prepared to discuss how it is that you have accomplished this? Did you tell people that you were going to have surgery? Are you not telling people? I am sure you've had to answer this question many times already since you have been so successful however it sounds like you may have a barrage of this to deal with in a concentrated dosage! I would rehearse with yourself how you will react when folks mention something and when folks don't mention something about how awesome you look. Because I guarantee you'll get both.

Own your success and wear it well - in clothes and in spirit!! Either way, you are beautiful in clothes that are too large and in clothes with perfect fit!

Thank you to all, I really appreciate your support. I am definately going to get better fitting outfits and wow them next week.

I had to update you all on how it went. I got more compliments then I knew what to do with AND one of the security guys hit on me Tuesday night (wanted to go out to coffee) It really made me feel good about myself. Totally worth it, a huge ego boost. Thank you for all the support, I really do appreciate it.
