SO I got my fill yesterday, getting to that point where I am taking fills slowly and being careful...and fearful of if I get overfilled. So I decided I'd take it easy and went to do some xmas shopping (I have a fair bit more to do DOH!!) but whilst there I tried on some clothes for myself.

It is hard because my mind is still in 'fatter mode' where I think that certain sizes will def NOT fit. but I thought what the hey I'll give it a go. So I tried on two tops and they fit!! I haven't been able to buy a size 16 in years!!! So I had to buy them...I realised I need some tops to get me through the summer :tt1:~

I also have a pair of pants I bought too small for me for $5.00 (that were on sale having been $100) I didn't try them on thinking I had a lot more to go before they'd fit but I tried them on a few weeks ago and they were really loose and now I think they are too big!! ARRGHH!!

Then I got a hair cut and colour...Amazing how a day can make you feel better about yourself :tt1:

NSV are the best. I also find it hard to wrap my brain around being a smaller size. I look at the clothes and think, "I could never fit in that!"

At least you only paid $5 for the pants! Keep up the good work!

Congratulations that is outstanding! These are the best kind of victories (not that the scale one aren’t great too) but the clothes indicators really drive home the success story. My biggest NSV will be when I don’t have to go the Big Man store and can shop in regular stores. Keep up the great work.

Woot! Don't you love to see those sizes getting smaller!

what's NSV?

Non-Scale Victory. :wink:

Ro, what a great NSV! I have found a whole new love of shopping, too! You, girl, must look HOT HOT HOT!!

oh. my guess was "No Small Victory". hahaha! I think mine was not having any foot pain when we went on vacation. And I've only lost 15 pounds. Imagine how I will feel with 15 more gone! :wink:

Oh yeah Smokin!! HAHAHA

Sometimes though, not such a great thing...work xmas party tonight consisted of many people plied with alcohol and feeling free to say how great I looked, which was cool, it is nice to be complimented....and then I get one guy come up and say before even saying hello, so are you married yet?? In front of 5 other people, and I am totally not interested in him and WTF!!!??? I turned tail and got out of there quick smart! Then laughed about it all the way home!! :wink2:

LOL on the NSV. My size 14 petite jeans I boughtr 3 weeks ago are getting big on the legs. So.....hoping by New Year I can get some 12's or 11's. I won't go shopping till I hit 170 then see what fits. Hope to be that by New Years.

I am still wearing tops and they are big. So glad that's the style still. I have lots of those baby doll empire tops and now they fit so much better. I can wear them for a few more months. I want to get through the winter before I buy anything more than new jeans.

Although there is a sweater at Coldwater Creek I have my eye on....hope it goes on sale after the holidays. It's a bit pricy. LOL

I won't fork out on expensive clothes just yet either....but I have decided if I need some stuff to tide me over, what the hey, if I can find it at a reasonable price. I won't get much but I looked in my cupboard the other day and realised I don't have a LOT to get me through summer
