Although in a stall since Jan 7th..I am officially out of plus sizes...went to kohls today...where I was previously a 2x..today I tried a 1x..swimming in it...carefully wandered to the regular sizes and walked away with a cute XL top and a pair of 18 rockstar skinnies from old navy and 16 from the gap..great way to close out the weekend!

Great job and much more fun when you look at clothes now.

Just did ANOTHER sweep of my closet and have about 20 more items that are too big.

My wearable wardrobe is minimal but I'm ok with that for a while longer!

That is amazingggg!!!! So happy for you!!! I've been avoiding shopping bc embarrassingly enough I'm wearing my smaller maternity jeans from my first pregnancy at first bc they were comfy on my incisions(the larger ones) and then bc my doc recommended I keep in them bc my spleen is so enlarged...but I will jump for joy when I can do the same as you! Congrats!

Thanks ladies! Its gonna be hard to "UN brainwash" myself..I'm so used to assuming I need the largest size or automatically look for the plus section at the store..I'm so grateful for my sleeve and I could have just melted in the floor? WHen my daughter said loudly in the full dressing room.." mommy that's not going to work..since you got skinny you can't wear those big lady clothes no more"...and trust me her loud 7 year old mouth has not always been so flattering..haha..

I totally understand about my "default" and heading to the plus area. This weekend I went eyeballing some shapeware and decided to try on a couple of dresses that were in a size I've never seen in my life. I was amazed, I looked great!!!! It really finally hit me that I don't even need to entertain the idea of plus sizes anymore. Still am working on accepting this....so, I wish ya luck.
