Yesterday I went to pick out some scrubs for school. I picked up an XL shirt and pants. I asked the clerk if I could try them on and she laughs at me saying no way will those fit me. She grabs mediums and hands them to me. I give her the look of death wanting to punch her right in the face!

I take them, fearing the humiliation I've dealt with my entire life of something not fitting. They fit! I now want to make out with her right then and there!

I obviously still see myself as obese and it stinks that I don't see myself the way others do! Hopefully one day....

Congratulations on the size medium. I think this happens to a lot of us. I think I'm a size 10 pants and medium top but every time I shop I think these can't possible fit me they are so tiny but to might delight they ususally do.

that's fantastic! medium sounds like such a victory to me. Good for you!

Im the same way, I still will choose sizes that are too big because there is no way I fit into size 8 pants or a medium (sometimes a small) top. Its unreal. Its ok though because its like a new NSV every time I actually do fit into the tiny clothes

Oooh and I beat my personal best today by doing a 12 minute mile and I'm .6% away from having an acceptable body fat percentage! Today is a good day!

What a wonderful experience!!! Smaller clothes...victory!!

That is very exciting!! Congratulations!!

I'm still amazed when clothing that is hanging in my own closet fits me, and my family thinks it's funny that I do a happy dance when I can put on pants without laying on the bed, and doing the booty scoot to get into my jeans. I hold up my new sizes and still say "never gonna happen" and they do fit, just like the last time I wore them. LOL It's a great problem to have though.
