Today is an awesome day!!! First off, let me start by saying I have a section in my closet that is for clothes that I have bought thinking they would fit, but they don't. Most of them are work clothes and are button up type shirts. Well, when I get them home, they don't button all the way up due to the hips/junk in the trunk. Well, this morning, I was looking for something to wear to work when I thought - what the hell, let's just see one of them fits ... AND IT DID!!!! I was bouncing all around the bedroom ... now I have at least 1 new shirt to wear to work. I am excited to try the rest of them on when I get home tonight!!!!

    Congrats! Thats awesome! It happened to me to, I had a huge box of skinny clothes in my attic (clothes before I had kids, when I used to spend a TON of money on clothes.....really awesome stuff) I never thought I would wear them again, but I could not bear to part with them....but they now fit! I'm so excited to also have a "new" wardrobe!

    Congrats! Isn't that just the best feeling??? I'm finally fitting into some old clothes (which is even better than new!) plus some that have been hanging in my closet with tags on them, just waiting for me to get down to that size- ah, it's so nice to rip those tags off and wear them!!!

    This is ME... well... I don't have any size UK 10's in there.... I actually found a size 12 the other day.... but I have clothes ranging from UK size 14 - UK size 22...

    No wonder all my family & friends said I had too many clothes.... but I didn't think I did, because I couldn't wear them...

    I've dropped 2 sizes in the last 5 months.... wearing a UK size 18....

    Hi there isn't that a great feeling i too have clothes ranging in size and have just managed to start wearing a pair of jeans i bought in a sale a few years back and they still had the tag in them as i had never been small enough to wear them and now i can its brilliant.

    Congratulations! I went through this a few weeks ago when I found a HUGE plastic box of "skinny" clothes in the garage. I had thought that I had gotten rid of them when I gave my MiL a bunch of clothes for a yard sale a few years ago. To my total delight, some of my favorite clothes (including shorts, just in time for the warm weather!) were in that box - and they FIT!! :D I'd say I picked up several hundred dollars between the tons of jeans, cargo pants and shorts that I found. Rock on girl!
