Two More NSV's

I had a really good day today. :) It's not often I sincerely feel like saying that but the days are coming closer and closer together now that I can walk without pain and I don't get so fatigued and my general health is just 100% better.

My two new NSV's???

Well, this morning I saw that we were gonna have high 70's today, so I decided to wear a dress and guess what!! I could put on my smallest pantyhose WITHOUT having to sit down to put them on and I DIDN'T need a tow-truck to help pull them over my hips OR pick me up off the floor. I did not suffer any over-exertion either. Used to, it was aerobic activity to put on pantyhose IF I would attempt it all.

Secondly, I wore my 'real people' shoes today, with 3.5 inch heels. :) The shoes are the MUDD brand with a pretty wide, solid heel and a funky square toe, so no danger of really falling off or hurting myself, but when I first bought them it hurt me to try to wear them very long (I have no arch). Today, no pain. It felt SO good to wear something besides flats. I felt very professional and attractive. My boss even commented on how great I looked!

Glad to here that you are feeling good about your weight loss. I think one of the best feeling is when you cross over the "Plus Size" line to the other side.

It has been much too long since I have been able to shop on the "Regular" side. I can't wait until I get out of what my husband calls "Lunch room lady bras". Since I have not taken care of myself, I can only wear certain bras. They only come in the basic colors; white, black, and tan. So if I want to add a little color, I just buy dye. Now I have this nice royal blue bra.

I hope you have many, many more days of good.

Way to go, girl! I know you have great taste in clothes, seeing what you brought to Galveston. I haven't worn any heels in SO long.

Yeeaaahhh!!!

You made me laugh... "needing a tow truck to help pull up panty hose" and "falling off high hills" OMG.

As small as you are, I cant believe you dont dress up more often!

Yay, lethalwoman!! Sounds like you had a great day. May there be many, many more! :banana :banana :banana :banana :banana :banana

:) Thanks you guys. and bygawd, I'm wearing those shoes again today! The Lethalwoman is on her way back!! LOL

I know the weight makes me not even try to fancy up myself, It's been a long, long time since I wore panthose. Too tight, too hot for the excess weight. I''m a comfy girl, I very rarely wear dresses any more, too short and too fat. But, look out World here we come, in our sexy dresses and our high heel shoes. I'm so happy for you Leatha, I have gained some of my weight back because I hardly have any restriction and have been eating horrible. Buy I get my fill next Tuesday, and I am hopeful that the weight will start dropping. I think it is a good idea for you to take a picture in that dress and those shoes, I especially want a close up of those shoes, I'm a shoe and purse girl, can't seem to get enough of them.

Hi Leatha,

I never thought I would like heels, but now I am getting into them again. Congratulations on this major NSV!!!!

And the stockings too......
