A little shopping spree... after 56 lbs gone

Well, I finally had to do it. I had to go shopping to buy some new clothes. I had pants falling off me, hanging way to far down, and rolling the waste band was no longer working. Not to mention that I had to be resized for a new bra as the old ones weren't doing anything anymore as they were too big. What a great day I had Saturday. I've gone down two sizes in shirts and in one outfit I tried on the lady told me that it was two big and told me I needed an 18/20. I was thinking there is no way that is going to fit, but oh my gosh it did. I was sooooo excited. I went down two band sizes for my bra and am really close to losing a cup size. I also went down two sizes in pants. That was such a boost to keep moving along with this journey. I am so glad that I found MFP back in February. It has totally helped me take control of my life. I still have a very long way to go, but I have more confidence now that I will make it through this journey to my goal.

    So beautiful!!! Its amazing how we still live in our "heavy" mind. We know we've been putting in the work and we know that we've lost the weight, but deny we can fit in a certain size! I go through this as well! I'm so proud of you and rooting for your success!!!!!
