Omg! Omg! I just fit into a size 14 dress!

My husband can't stop shopping online for me. I have no idea why but clothes keep appearing at the house. So he bought me two tiny looking size 14 dresses. I wanted to let him see how they were still waaaay too small for me. I love dresses but they didn't look good with the excess weight so I was very nervous.

But they fit!

And even though I say it myself, dang I look good in them! I have to admit, I didn't recognize myself in them. I didn't realize I am "small" enough to fit into them.

I used to read about others who said they didn't realize they were in a smaller size and it made no sense to me. Today I understood that.

I'm exactly three months out today (sx aug 2nd), 39 lbs down and in another pound I'll be half-way to goal. I've gone from an 18w or 20 to a misses 14.

For those of you who stress about stalls(I.e., me too)? Just know that in 3 months I've had 3 stalls that lasted 12 days, 12 days, and 15 days respectively. So out of 90 days, I spent 39 days stalled. And still got these results overall.

So grateful for the sleeve today. I have a thankful heart. Thanks for listening to me dance about with happiness

What a great feeling! Soon the 14's will be too big! Enjoy your success!

What the heck is NSV???? :huh:

I ran through all sorts of possible acronyms and can't figure it out! :P

NSV = Non scale Victory.

GG - pictures or it didn't happen! ;-)

TY! I've already a NSV or two of my own. Back in jeans from 4 years ago...goal is a size 10/12...whatever weight and time gets me there. But in another 17 pounds, I'll weigh less than I did when I discharged from the Navy in 1996! :D

what a great feeling!!! Please share pictures!

beautiful!

GG, Woo hoo! I'm just 4 days behind you and totally get how thrilled you are! Now, my hubbie doesn't buy me cloths, but I've cleaned out everything and am replacing with 14s, 11s and even some 10s. Never in my life did I expect to feel so damn good!

Good for you! And thanks for all the great posts over the last few months. I still can't believe you drove all the way home!
