Just wanted to share my excitement! My clothes have been getting so loose, and I tried to make them last as long as possible but they were really starting to make me look a little like a clown lol. It was getting a little embarrassing so when I got paid yesterday I decided it was time to give in and spend a little on some new clothes. I got lots of shirts, I used to wear a 3x, and the ones that I bought were all either 1x or 2x. I didn't get any pants, only because even though the ones that I tried on fit I just didn't like the style. I am going to have to look around some more for some pants that I like. But I was happy to find out while trying them on that I have gone down from a size 26 to size 22!

    CONGRATULATIONS
    That's fantastic.
    I used to be a 22 and now I'm starting to buy some 16's so hang in there. One size at a time down it goes.

    Ahhh! That is so exciting. I used to be a 26 and I'm down to about a 22 now, too. The weirdest thing is I still have a pair of size 26 linen pants that still fit pretty well in the waist. They're like shrinking with me, it's so weird.

    Occasionally, I will daydream about being able to shop in the non-plus sized areas of clothing stores and I get super overwhelmed with all of the options we will have. I'm so used to just buying what fits the best instead of deciding whether I actually like something or not. I'm having a weird identity crisis because I'm not sure if I know what my style is. At the age of 23. What the heck.

    End ramble. TL;DR: Excellent job!

    That's exciting! Congrats on your losses!

    I am looking forward to the day when I can fit into smaller clothes. :)

    It's a great feeling when this day comes around...not necessarily great for the wallet, though. :)

    Congratulations!

    That's fantastic. Just don't buy too many clothes because you'll need even smaller ones in no time!
