My friend came to visit me early on in my 5 month stay at the hospital....She brought with her a bag of 3 shirts that she thought I would like to wear in the near future....2 things went through my muffled brain....first...that is not even nice...At my lowest I will never be that small....second...Wow she thinks I will get that small that I will be able to wear these tiny clothes someday....Remember I just got out of a coma so I was not thinking to straight...

My friend is small..She is a size 2...she brought me her clothes to wear in the future...I had been a tight size 6x up to this point....

Yesterday she asked me if I had ever tried on the clothes she brought to the hospital that day...I laughed and replied are you kidding it is going to take me a long time before I can wear those little shirts....She told me to go home and try them on....

This morning as a lark I took them out of the bag and had NO faith that they would even fit one arm let alone my size....Holy macaroni..

they fit...Even have a little room in them...

Could this person really be me.....Have I gotten to the size that I can wear some of my friends clothes....I am gob smacked!!!!!!!!!!

WOOOHOOOOOO! I love this a thousand times over!!! Girl, you need to carry your shrinking ass to the store and start trying on all kinds of things. SO HAPPY FOR YOU!

Nope..Not yet....Still downsizing and don't want to spend the big bucks until I am there and steady and convinced that I will be there the rest of my life......Then look out...Mu hubby's pocket book is so going to suffer.....hehehehehe!!!!!!!

How wonderful! Glad you got brave enough to try em on!

You are amazing and an inspiration! I pray I have your strength and your success! What an surreal feeling to be able to put those clothes on!! When you stop shrinking I say take your hub's credit card and go wild you deserve it momma! (don't say I said that tho) hehe

Great story! Congrats - you have been thru so much. You are an inspiration.

Woo hoo! Love it! Way to

Go!

Awesome!!!

So happy for you! Are you at goal already?

I saw some size 8 jeans in the store the other day. I can imagine fitting into 10s but I cannot imagine ever being an 8

You don't have to buy it, just TRY it.

No....I am between a lg and XL in clothes...The clothes that she gave me were an XL...Everyone thinks I have hit wonderland though..but I have not weighed myself so I don't know if I am or not.....I really don't weigh myself much..I get frightened at the thought..lol

RJ'sBeginning, I have read your posts about the story of your sleeve, what you have been through. The fact that you are here and thriving is amazing and inspirational in itself.

So I am even happier to hear that you are seeing your weight loss so clearly now - wearing smaller clothes makes all of us feel good and you deserve it. As LipstickLady told GamerGirl, go out and try on a few clothes, feel good and get some practise in for spending your hubby's cash :-)))) I am so pleased for you...

Thanks..Glad I don't have your trouble with all those guys wanting you.....NOT!!! Oh well that's what happens when your an old married woman...that would make me feel good to have some of that attention even though I could not follow through.....Just kidding...well maybe not!!!!lol

Well, being married might not stop them if you are looking hot, lol!!! It is nice getting a bit of attention, as an old unmarried woman
