When I am clothes shopping I will often pick up something that is too small as "thinspiration". Until now I have never been able to lose weight so I have yet to get to wear some of these things, mostly dresses. Last night when I went out for karaoke I decided I wanted to try one to see if it fit. In mid-April I was a size 26. I put on a size 22 dress comfortably last night and I wore it PROUDLY. I tried on two more of my size 22 dresses that I have had for years that still have the tags on them because I could never wear them and by the third fitting dress I was bawling. I can't wait for karaoke on Wednesday to show off another one!

    Closet shopping is a fabulous reward, keep checking in there and soon you'll be taking the larger sizes to the local Good Will.

    Thanks everyone. I will post a photo of a dress I bought for New Year's Eve three years ago that now fits again. I will be wearing it out for dinner and karaoke :)

    Now if only I had enough balance to wear high heels with it. Lol. I wear a pair that I have around the house but I almost break my ankle so many times that I don't care wear them out in public.

    Omg I have a suitcase full of thinspirarions... Well, mostly clothes from two years ago when I re-gained 40lbs.

    I'll post pictures as soon as I start fitting in them again--I AM DETERMINED! I WILL BE A SIZE 36 BY JANUARY 23 (my 30th bday)

    Your post is so inspiring keep up the good work and that dress looks great by the way!
