Gift to myself

So my birthday was a few days after my surgery so I never got to really celebrate or anything, so I decided to treat myself to a gift. I didn't want to buy clothes just because I know I won't be able to wear it long, so I decided on an awesome pair of shoes. Here they are. I love them.

Ha Ha...true. Mine have gone down about a half size. I put on my dress shoes one day & my heals kept slipping out! Yes, they are nice shoes! It's great that you treated yourself.

Oh no! I never even thought about shrinking feet. Oh well, I'll enjoy them while I can :)

I know..me either until I did like Mysleevemylife did & mine started falling off!! Enjoy them now though & you can gift them to someone later & make them smile too!

WOW , I never ever ever EVER considered my feet would shrink, never crossed my mind.... OOPS!, shoes are the one thing I STILL have been buying "because I will still be able to wear them after I loose weight".... SHHHHHHHHH, don't tell my husband this info.... on to earrings or are my ears going to shrivel up like dried prunes too?

I think the shoe issue is less of an issue for lower BMI folks than higher. My shoe size hasn't changed and I'm nearly at goal. But my calf size has so boots fit nicely now where as before I had to wear them under jeans and not leave them zipped up all the way LOL

I put on a pair of boots I picked up in Italy maybe gad 15 years ago (good gravy it's been that long) and they fit nifty keen just as they did when I was a size 2 so many years ago LOL

..your feet will shrink

longgggggggg time ago when i was a little newbie (or should i say big!!!)....... :D

someone made a comment about their shoe sizes getting smaller

i thought, how silly, are you kidding me??????????

boy was i surprised when i realized its true!!!!!

you are a smart "cookie" :lol:

treating yourself to lovely boots, shoes instead of clothes you will grow out of!!!!!

now you can go and kick some a_ ssssss

("bad word police" are around and they don't like you to say certain words !!!)

watch out for "them" they are everywhere :lol:

in the past you might have rewarded yourself with some goodies (of course that would be pretty silly now!! ;)

hope your recovery is going nicely :)

take care

happy belated b'day :)
