My closet is skinny too!

Just got rid of the last few things I was hanging on to. I barely have anything left! My husband helped me load it all into bags. As I was throwing away a hoodie I had always worn, my husband asked why I was throwing it away when I loved it so much. It made me cry to tell him that I hadn't really loved it, I had pretend that I did with the majority of my clothes because I am young and want to look unique in my clothing choice, but my size wouldn't allow it. The hoodie I got rid of was a men's 4x. I do have a fun sense of style but I have never been able to show it before. I'm not all the way there, but I am a heck of a lot closer than I was before! Oh and I got rid of all those hangers that had the sizes on them. No more 26/28 for me! So now my closet is so empty, but I am hesitant to get things that I will get too small for... What a fabulous problem! I am 5.5 months out. I have lost 100 pounds. I never thought I would ever be where I am today. I am so grateful for this surgery, and all the people who supported me. I hope all is well with everyone else!

Nice job!

I always told people that I just 'wasn't a coat person' and I just wore a big sweater and then hat, scarf, gloves, etc.

The truth- I was ashamed that the clothing companies that my family would have tried to buy me something from... nothing would have fit me. My belly and hips was bigger than their largest plus size coats would fit.

But NOW, I'm always cold, and this winter, I'm getting a COAT! And a ladies large will fit, thankyouverymuch.

you look amazing girl!!!

Congrats on your fantastic accomplishment so far. You look amazing and so very happy!!

You have done a wonderful job losing 100 pounds! I hope to get there one day!

Congratulations! I also hope to lose 100 lbs. Luckily I have bins full of stuff I've grown out of... XL, L and even a few Mediums from waaaaay back :) I could never get rid of them. But I plan to get rid of all my fat clothes as I lose - that's for sure (except my biggest pair of pants for comparison).

Wow! You look AMAZING! Congratulations!!! I'm so happy for you.

For me, it's the color black... everyone thinks I love wearing black, it's the only color I like to wear, but it really isn't true. I've been wearing mostly black the past few years because it's "slimming" and people don't notice me so much :-/

I'm having the surgery on Friday, I can't wait to lose my 100lbs and wear colors!

wow u look fantastic .... actually i dont know your age but you look a minimum of 5 years younger

I'm 32 lots of people have told me that. I was always aggravated that people thought I was older, so now I look my age... Maybe younger! Thanks everyone for the sweet words. And for the ones on their way, don't give up, it will happen. <3

Awesome job...you look GREAT

You look great!! I totally understand what you mean about the clothes. I never liked the clothes I had but they didn't sell "my style" in plus size. It feels great to be able to dress to my personality.
