Well for the last 10 yrs...WOW really that long....I have refused to purchase clothes. Purchasing only enough so I would not go around naked. Well to say the least I never had more than 3 pairs of pants at any given time. So I was always doing laundry. Well as of this week I was able to fit into clothes that have been sitting at the top of my closet, or a drawer, or even in the attic (they moved a lot depending on my mood) I now have 5 pairs of jeans and 4 pair of slacks. It is amazing!!!! Also they even have wiggle room so hopefully I will fit into the ones that are still sitting up there.
I now have hope that I will get back into them and they are no longer laughing at me or taunting me. I feel encouraged when I look at them.

Thats great. I've got 5 sizes of jeans in my closet from the last time I lost 40lbs. I sure hope I'm as successful as you are.
If I get into the 33's you're gonna see some proof up in here.0 -

I've had a similar experience recently
I used to be in a UK size 22 - 24 but recently I have become a Uk size 18 and so I am no longer relegated to the 'plus size' area 
I wasn't sure my husband really understood what this mean't and so I had to explain to him that I LOVE clothes and clothes shopping and the only thing that stopped me before was the pittiful selection of clothes I could fit into. Heh heh, his credit card is gonna cry when I get to my goal :P
Well done you!!0 -
That is an amazing NSV!!! Great job!0

Thank you everyone I am crazy proud and can hardly stop smiling. Without all of you it would have been a lot harder. You all are amazing!!!! 0 -
I am and have been the same way, about pants especially, but really shirts too. I normally own 2-4 pairs of pants. When I did an internship for which I had to dress up, I bought 2 pairs of dress pants which I hated but I wanted to buy the cheapest ones I could find, and 5 shirts, which I also hated. A month or two ago i found that I could fit into some pants that were packed away and I was so excited to have 5 pairs of jeans in my dresser to choose from. Although now 2 of them have holes in the inner thighs so I am back to 3.0

That's great! I can't wait to fit into some old things. I got rid of a lot of my old stuff, feeling sure I'd never wear them again. But now I'm thinking I was wrong! 0

Yes the shirts were the same but I am still lacking on them. I was really small ontop prior to kids and being so big. (putting it nicely) So many of them still do not fit. Not sure if they will. However I am still trying and therefore we shall see. I had the same problem the jeans must have been on their last leg when I stopped wearing them because I only was able to wear them for so long before they had a whole in them. Oh well. Now that I can start to wear cute clothes again and not unflattering things is awesome. By the way why are clothes for bigger woman so unflattering with material? Totally not fair.lol0 -

Fantastic job!!!! Sometimes I think it's NSV's like these that make us feel even better than the numbers on the scale, because this is where you really really see it. Congratulations!!!0
