I've been shopping this weekend. I'm embarrassed to say that I have been wearing clothes size 20-22.
BUT this weekend I'm pleased to say I've bought 4 tops, a tight fitting dress, skirt and coat in a size 18!. This might not seem a lot but it is to me. My shape has changed alot especially over the last few weeks. Plus this weekend 2 people have noticed I've lost weight !
Don't get me wrong I've got a long way to go but for the first time for years I'm not embarrassed to be seen out without a coat, jacket or cardigan on.
Another bonus is I walked around the shops for two and half hours before my hip started aching. (I had a hip replacement 2 and half years ago and have struggled to walk and stand for too long). I'm getting stronger everyday. Somedays I do feel tired but some days I have loads of energy. :lol:
Its a great feeling isnt it when you go into a shop and have to buy smaller clothes. I was a size 26-28 (Awfully embarrassing!) :oops: and now im in size 22 jeans which is a massive improvement, still not brilliant though!
I still go out with a jacket on ... for now anyways. :roll:
What a lovely story that puts a smile on my face. I was the same...size 22/24 and now wearing 18 so I know how exciting and what a big deal it is! I love that I can go into nearly any shop and pick up an 18 and not stick to the 16+ shops!
Congratulations trying hard,you really are an inspiration! Love reading your posts! Keep up the good work and so pleased to hear about your hip and how much better you feeling
