Well, to me anyways! I was in a crappy mood earlier today and posted about how I have been stuck at 180. The past two months pretty much I have been stuck right there. BUT I went down a size, so you know its fat...WELL.
I went to the mall today looking for a purse, saw some places were having great sales...thank you labor day weekend.
I went to american eagle. Now, I have been there, loved the clothes, only to be able to buy like, a hat....and stuff for my husband.
Tonight I walked in there, got two size 14 jeans (january I was a 20) a sweatshirt, two tank tops, a beanie, and a sweater..... the sweater I had to buy an XL, BUT everything else was a large....and size 14.
Like, wtf..i ididnt even try them on, I did when i came home, and when i put the first outfit on, I almost cried...seriously. I know that sounds ridiculous. But never in my adult life (i was thin when i was younger but never allowed to pick my own clothes,,,) have I been able to spend money on nice clothes that fit me well and i loved...and it was fun! NOT frustrating, not discouraging, it made me feel SO good.
Until tonight, I had felt like I didnt look any different, despite everyday seeing people I know and them saying how i look totally different.
what an awesome first NSV. sorry for the length, im just seriously amazed, lol!!!!!

How amazing!!!
I can't wait until I'm down a few more sizes and get to go buy new clothes!!

Oh i am so proud of you for hitting that smaller size. Sometimes, for me, the numbers are intimidating. I keep wanting to buy a size 20 even though its too big.... i never thought i would say a size of any sort was TOO BIG. Had to force myself to actually wear some size 18 clothes to work. Now, I'm looking forward to getting into 16s and onward. Sounds like youre heading in the right direction and making HUGE strides))) 0

Congrats!! So awesome! Clothing is a great motivator for us women. I can't wait to shrink my way out of my clothes. The smallest I've been was down to a 12 and it felt amazing. I gained the weight back unfortunately but now I'm here to lose weight the right way!
Again, congrats on the NSV! Definitely a win!0 -

EXACTLY! I keep forgetting im smaller by 50lbs, lol.Oh i am so proud of you for hitting that smaller size. Sometimes, for me, the numbers are intimidating.

Its like, i see the 14, or whatever, i look at it and say, "thats NOT going to fit" then dont buy anything at all because im so discouraged. The other day GAP didnt have a size 16 in jeans i wanted, so i was like "well ill just try on 14 and it wont fit but i will see how much more ihave to go and i might buy them for motivation"
ummmmm, they fit! In between 16 and 14, I hadnt lost any weight, so I was shocked, and found out by accident. Kind of thought it was a fluke to be honest, but nope, today i bought some jeans in size 14.
I told my husband i want to go back and buy more clothes, he says I can, lol 0 -
Your transformation is not just physical but has to be mental and spiritual as well. Your body has made amazing progress since we began working out together and your mind is also progressing just slower than you would like. It takes a lot of work and reprogramming of your self talk to change the program that has been installed and reinstalled into your psyche. This is your chance from here on out to reboot that old program and write a new one for your life! I know you can do this and I'm so excited for you. From now on, when you go clothes shopping go to the 12/14 section and enjoy trying on those cute clothes you look so great in!
Until our next kick *kitten* workout! YOU CAN DO THIS HEATHER0 -
well done! nsvs are fab for keeping us sane in our journey0

that's a wonderful NSV and you deserve it!0
