Tears in the Fitting Room NSV

Misiaxcore

Congrats on the NSV! I'm guilty of crying in fitting rooms, even when I was at a 25lb loss :grumble:

Yes I too have experienced that from BOTH directions and in the SAME store. I was at Cato(it has a big and small side) I had reached their 26/28 and sat on the floor and cried trying to figure out how the hell I had gotten to that point and if I would ever be able to fix it. My next set of tears there were about 2 years later when I realized I was now on the SMALL side of the store granted it was the biggest size on the small side but I had gotten there!!! I must admit those tears felt a hell of a lot better!!!
CONGRATS to you!!! Keep up the GREAT job!!!!

You look fantastic! I had the exact same reaction when I tried on my first 16 (Old Navy as well!). I also would spend time checking to see if the mirrors were tilted, and then get teary all over again when I realized they weren't! Congratulations, and keep up the amazing work!!

That is just the greatest feeling in the world. I had one in Old Navy too! I never went in there because I thought they wouldn't have anything to fit me. So when I ventured in there a couple of months ago and tried on a XL - I bought it! You just can't tell me if that isn't the most wonderful little dress in my closet even though now it is too big!

I can not wait to have this moment - I'm at an 18 dropping to a 16 now. Some of my 18s are too big. I'm wondering what size it will take for me to lose the W, if I even can. I'm still a bit curvy...

I reared up in the Old Navy fitting room today...I put on (meaning buttoned and zipped without effort) a pair of jeans that DID NOT have a "W" in the size!!! Hello 16...I've missed you!!!

Do you ever cry in the fitting room?

My first panic attack ever was actually in the fitting room of a place called "Farm and Fleet". I was trying on a pair of mens painter pants. And...ugh........the pants didnt come even close to fitting and they were considerably bigger than even my husband at the time wore and I had just lost 50lbs!!! I was destroyed.

The problem ...then wasnt that the pants didnt fit. The "problem" was it set such a precedence that I had panic attacks every time or almost every time I went to a damn store and even more so if it was a clothing store. It also started my online shopping experience (the good part)

Congratulations!! SUCH a great achievement, and what a fantastic way to mark it. I haven't cried in a fitting room, but I remember being bewildered by being able to zip up a pair of size 12 trousers from Zara... I was so surprised that I thought they must have attached the label incorrectly. Went out and brought back another pair in size 12, just to be sure - and then rang my friend immediately to squeal in excitement. Grinned all the way to the registers (never mind that the trousers were slightly overpriced and a weird shade of ivory/ash grey).

I hope you BOUGHT those jeans, btw!

That is awesome, tears of JOY! I haven't cried while trying on clothes but I have also not got to the point where I am able to wear what I want. I am sure though that when I get there it will be overwhelming and I may tear up a bit. Well, actually I could see it going either two ways, I tear up a bit or I get so excited I can't shut up about how happy I am about being able to wear nice clothes!

Congratualtions.

I didn't cry - but I did do a little victory dance when I fitted a size 4 (US) Banana Republic suit a couple of weeks ago!!
