Weight loss success for me is when every piece of Lane Bryant clothing leaves my house

Love it!!! Congrats!!!

Buying "women's clothes" is a hard habit for me to break. I was at a resale shop recently and tried on some LB clothes in a size 18. They fit everywhere except the boobs (you could have put 4 of me in there and still had room). I never realized just how big they cut their clothes in the chest.

So... tried some misses 18 & 20 tops and they fit. OMG!!!! I was wearing a 28W-32W in tops just 6 months ago.

I guess no more LB, Avenue or Catherines for me! woohooo!!!!!

Being able to excercise

When the deformed looking bump of fat vanishes from the insides of my knees.

Being able to buckle the airplane seatbelt with lots left over and be able to get up on my horse without him grunting and snorting beneath the weight (poor thing)

Today, I was officially booted out of Lane Bryant lol. They were having the bra sale. I asked the saleswoman if she could measure me. She said wow you need to shop somewhere else , we don't carry your size.

It was a great feeling. But Victoria Secrets is too expensive ...

Sitting in the movie theater seats comfortably without my jeans poking into my stomach and my legs being squished.

Yes!!! I want that crap GONE!!

[woman in me 307]

Being able to tie my shoes and breathe at the same time.

Being able to get out of bath tub without getting in my hands and knees.

Not feeling lazy because I'm exhausted.

Shopping on the "other" side of Cato's

Owning a pair of boots that will fit over my calves.

Being able to walk past Lane Bryant knowing it's not an option anymore.

Trying clothes on and the sales associate tells you that you need a size medium top

I've never wore a medium in my life.

Wow, Lane Bryant has really come to symbolize all that punished us as fat women, lol!! I too consider WLS surgery success when not a single thing in Lane Bryant comes near to fitting me. Also:

When I can walk into the Levis store or some other denim boutique and not only wear a size right of the rack, but be able to wear the high end stuff that comes in measurements (ie: 28x32)

When someone describing me does not use any word that has anything to do with fat (soft, round, chubby, gordita, etc)

When I can run a 5K

When my BMI gets to 25 or less

When someone looks at me like I'm deranged if I make a comment about being on a diet or avoiding a treat.

If someone ever calls me skinny/tiny/little or some variation .

Being able to wear anything with a non-flexible waistband and not have it leave red marks or indentations.
