So I've been at goal for nearly two years and have all new clothes except my winter robe. It was kinda small on me at my heaviest weight and until this winter I hadn't noticed that it was way too big. I just wrapped it around me. Finally I noticed it was wrapping clear to my backside and asked hubby for a new one. We opened our presents a little early and it was kinda emotional taking off the last of my fat clothes and putting on my new robe in size small. The fabric is thinner too. I was shocked at how tiny I look in the robe compared to my old one.

So in case you are wondering, even a few years out, there are still some mental adjustments here and there. I feel really pretty in my new robe, but a little vulnerable without my extra padding. It's funny because when I look in the mirror while naked or in any other clothes, I don't feel small, just normal.

Here's to a happy and healthy 2014 at goal!

At two years out I have a totally new wardrobe. I was a 16 and now anything bigger than a four is gone. It seemed like it took forever to get to 12 and 14 then it went very quickly. I have been pretty stable for the past six months and left no room for me to gain. I refuse to buy bigger clothes. The first batch was really hard, then it seemed I had a constant donate pile for a year. It feels good to buy clothes I can hopefully stay in forever. Even my feet are smaller.

I am so looking forward to these moments. I am down to wearing:

my last stretchy black dress ... bursting at the seams

my last stretchy work skirt... bulging at the waistband

my last pair of legging... hardly ever wear these as leggings are so unflattering

and precisely ZERO pairs of jean... as I just can't face wearing super tight jeans and I refuse to buy any more as over a certain size I don't wear jeans at all

Still nervously waiting preop for a date for my sleeve surgery.

Hit the thrift store girl... then give them back when you shrink out of them. No need to punish yourself at the last minute!

I just went through my closet again for like the 4th time... I still managed to find a black garbage bag worth of too big cloths to give away... I thought I had given them all up except two pairs of giant pants for the record!

I feel like the clothes have taken over...they will find me one day many years from now buried in an avalanche of clothing too big...time for a clean out I think...if you don't hear from me again I wish you all the best hahaha
