Thanks everyone!! It's these little things now that keep me going. Sometimes I feel like I'm in a rut or have no motivation and all of a sudden I have these kinds of moments that remind me of why I am doing this.

Actually just last night I went to walmart for groceries and thought what the heck I'm gonna look at the clothes too......so I'm browsing and browsing and can't find anything in my size then I realized.....I'M NOT PLUS SIZE ANYMORE (well in walmart anyway LOL) The plus racks are 18+ so I had to locate the average size clothing and there is so much more selection, I was overwhelmed, I didn't buy anything but it was a HUGE motivator for me to keep going.

And my rings that I couldn't fit for the last 7+ years.....are now all starting to get too big........so I gotta get em all sized!!!

I love it!!

Way to go. Since I had gastric bypass surgery in January of this year I have lost 83 pounds. Because I was losing so rapidly and did not want to have to spend a lot of money I, too, went to a second hand shop. I now shop at the "GW Boutique" or Good Will Store. All of the clothes there have been cleaned before they are put on the rack. I don't feel as guilty for spending money there as I would in a regular store since I have to discard about every 2 months. So I just donate back and it is all for a good cause!!!

Congrats on your sucessfull journey in the weight lost.

thanks!! we have the V V boutique......(value village) LOL We have goodwill too but I never find anything I like there. I also donate everything back when I am done so it's totally supporting a good cause and justifyable!
