So today I was in Forever 21 (ONE MY MY FAVORITE STORES BTW) and I wanted to try on some new clothes. With $100 in hand I told myself I would go on a nice shopping spree! Now I haven't been shopping in like a month and a half. But I automatically thought I should get XL's for clothes because it really didn't look like I could fit in a large. Plus, I was so bloated cause of my damn period. Anyway, I got all these clothes in XL's to try on. In the changing room it hit me. I tried on one shirt. IT WAS CRAZY. AN XL WAS ACTUALLY HUGE ON ME. I was so confused. So I went back in the store and got all my clothes in a size L. Went back into the changing room and tried on the clothes and guess what? THEY FIT PERFECTLY. I haven't been a size L since before high school! I'M PROUD OF MYSELF :)

    That's such an amazing, surreal feeling! I remember having the exact same experience when I lost my first 25lbs back in 2009. Honestly, sometimes even now it's still instinct to look for the bigger sizes--I have to keep reminding myself that those won't fit anymore!

    Congratulations on your NSV and happy shopping!!!

    that is awesome. The feeling is great. My husband actually told me to change me shirt three times before I went out today because they were all huge on me. He said " Are you going to be painting" I said No why He said "becuse you look like you are wearing a smock" So now I am getting rid of three shirts :)

    Congrats! Forever 21 is my "goal" store. They have such cute stuff. I'm almost to an XL - I can't wait!

    I have a training class to attend for a week in April, I want to have a few new outfits by then.

    Fantastic! Congrats on all your hard work. I am looking forward to the "X" to be off my clothing size, also.

    That happened to me, too. I rarely ever tried stuff on, especially in tops. I know that I bought a couple XL things before realizing that I had gone down in size. I had stayed the same size before even plus or minus 20, so I guess I figured I was still the same after the next 20. It wasn't until cleaning out my stuff and trying on old pants before I realized I was smaller and should look for smaller clothes!

    thats awesome cuz forever 21's clothes run small. so you can prob. fit into a medium at like macys or dilliards.

    Good for you! I love Forever 21, I've had to order from Forever 21+ Online because I wore 1X there. I just ordered a dress in XL, and I'm very excited, because my 1X clothes are getting too big!
