Today at work 3 large pizzas found there way into the office. Not only did I not eat a slice, I didn't even want to! I felt fine with it and that is the real NSV for me.0

LOVE IT, Paula!
And me? As of this morning, I have only one old pair of pants that isn't too big...and even they are a bit loose.
I will struggle on for another week or so, then the February sales start...and I will shop for trousers that are TWELVE inches smaller at the waist than the last time I went clothes shopping nearly two years ago!
I have now dropped down through all of the little pants I kept out of a sense of nostalgia during all those years of getting bigger!
I have gone from a 60 waist to a 48, and i am going to buy 46s next week. (Oh...and I CAN wear a generously cut 44 if I don't tuck my shirt into the muffintop.
Next stop...normie clothing stores!0 -
Please, don't think I'm weird, but I measure my belly with my palms. I put my open hand under my belly (pinky finger touching my skin) and see how many fingers it covers. When I started, back in may, my belly covered 4 fingers... now just one

I wore my uniform to work and didn't bother taking a change because I was going to head straight home on Sunday! My husband decides to surprise me and take me out for lunch after my shift. I quickly ran into superstore, to find a shirt (I am not wearing that sack in public)... I tried on a 2x and it fit well, so I tried on a 1x ( I don't want anymore clothes I'm going to grow out of in a month). lol! It fit... (a little tight in the arm but looked good!)!!!!! And this was a chain 1x not a plus sized store. WooHoo! Happy dance!!!0

Pixy: Congratulations! It also sounds like your SO is pretty good to surprise you.
NSV: I can fit into my 26's, even the older ones. They are a bit snug at first, but within a few minutes feel comfortable on me. Another one that was somewhat embarassing was the other day on the treadmill I was walking along when my shorts fell half-way off of me exposing my granny panties for a bit. :laugh: There was only one other person in the room though.0 -
Congrats Etherlily!!!
I love it when old clothes suddenly fit! :happy: To funny about the treadmill :laugh: , I've had that happen with old exercise pants doing Zumba... but I'm the only one in the room. :blushing:0 -
Ignaura, Looks like we've got lots of company. I used to do this tooPlease, don't think I'm weird, but I measure my belly with my palms. I put my open hand under my belly (pinky finger touching my skin) and see how many fingers it covers. but can't anymore. I still have a bulge but no folds. It is so amazing that after losing 125# (and with 50+# more to go) it melted away. 0 -
We were out riding the other day when I noticed my hiking boot had come untied. I thought to myself that I'd have to remember to re-tie it when we next stopped as I have to lift my foot up onto something so I can reach the laces. Well, this little voice said,"give it a try...I bet you can do it sitting down." And I could...easily! I lifted my leg up...not by physically using my hands to do so..I propped that sucker on my other knee and tied my shoe. I was so tickled!0
