Silly NSV

So, I've actually hit my goal weight and if I could ever get some pictures taken I'll post my before and after pic's with my story. But I wanna tell my latest NSV because for me this is HUGE!

I've always hated to shop (weird for a woman) I think mainly because I always hate how I look in dressing room mirrors and how the clothing manufacturing industry is so inconsistent with sizing. It makes my accountant brain that likes order nuts! Anyway, one of the reasons I started on MFP was I wanted to be able to go into my closet and pull things out and not have to worry about if it fit or how it looked. So, I've lost 23 lbs. and I've pretty much had to replace my entire wardrobe. Last night my husband and I were talking about an event in May and whether we would go or not. I jokingly said "well, just let me know, I've got a dress for every occasion now!" and realized, OMG, it's true! I can now walk in my closet and pull anything out and know it fits and know I look good in! No having to make myself go shopping hoping I'd find something acceptable.

Silly I know, but it made me soooo happy!

Not silly at all! That's one thing I love about losing weight I can go "shopping" in my own closet

So Happy for you Angie, in hitting your goal. I have always disliked shopping. I can't wait to see your pics. Your looking FANTASTIC ! You should be soooo Proud of yourself. YOU did it ! Doesn't it feel exceptional good, knowing it's not only about the clothes, but knowing you are living a healthy lifestyle, and staying fit, for a longer life. Keep that heart muscle pumping !
Hugs to you.

I totally get that. I've always hated shopping when I wasn't at my "happy weight". I swear dressing rooms should have tissue boxes in them, I've shed many tears trying to find something flattering to wear that night/afternoon/weekend. Congratulations!
