When I got married 3 and a half years ago, I searched high and low for a simple outfit to wear (wasn't a big ceremony and wanted something kind of casual that I could wear again one day). This city is filled with pencil thin, boobless model wannabes lol, so my search took ages. I finally found a shop that had a lovely light lavendar skirt and top. It was just what I had been looking for. When I tried on the biggest size, the skirt was super tight Luckily, the blouse came down over my gut to hide it a little bit. I looked around at other shops though and that was the closest I could find to something that looked half way decent on me.

This weekend, I fished it out of the closet, just to see if I could squeeze my big arse into it yet. Low and behold, it was LOOSE! Not like falling off loose or anything, but moving room loose for sure.

That inspired me to try on a few other outfits that I had bought before I moved to Australia, in the hopes that one day I'd fit into them. They ALL fit!!! So I'm now smaller than my DH has ever seen me. Still as big as I was when I was 9 months pregnant, but I'm not concentrating on that hehehe.

You ought to try hanging round a university campus Jess! I couldnt believe it when I started my degree at the ripe old age of 36. When I was at uni right after school 20 + years ago, there were people of all shapes and sizes from all walks of life.

Well not anymore. Where have all the ugly people gone? Every girl is pencil thin, gorgeous and every boy is buffed and tanned. Its unbelievable, it looks like a movie set! Not only that but they all have the latest mobile phones, everyone has brand new cars (no driving round hotted up Cortina's like we all did), acrylic nails, tinted hair, designer sunglasses and amazing clothes.

My goal is to fit in a lecture theatre seat. I cant pull the table down and when the person next to me moves theirs my thigh gets in the way :=(

Well done though - I dont think I'd even try my wedding dress for at least 30 kilos!

Parvathi

Your surely don't look 9 mos pregnant! Who cares what you weigh? You look pretty great! Hope your hubby appreciates you.

:]

Excellent work Pavarthi! Excellent work!

Oh Jachut, I know exactly what you mean. Except there are plenty of fat boys. This semester I am able to fit in the desks better and in the lecture hall my sexy tummy isn't squashed against the table...

Way to Go!!! I know you are happy about that....I know I would be.

Way to go! You are doing an amazing job, and are such an inspiration to me. Just imagine all of the wonderful NSVs to come!

Everyday I think about getting into some of my "other" clothes. I don't know why I haven't thrown them out yet, but reading great news like this makes me glad I didn't. That is great news. Keep up the great work!
