  • New pants...

    Just got back from the store... Since I'm going on my vacation this week AND since I've lost 10 pounds so far on induction, I thought I'd go and buy some new shorts for myself. Lo and behold, I'm back in size 8!!! WOOHOO
    I'm so happy and I actually think I look pretty good in my new shorts.
    Just a note to everyone trying to get "back into" their old jeans.... go to the store and try on a NEW pair in the same size.... found out an interesting fact... cotton SHRINKS like crazy after a few years. I was really depressed because my size 10 shorts from 2 years ago were really tight. But when I tried on the 10s at the store, they were too big. COTTON SHRINKS!!! Don't judge your weighloss by OLD clothes... because, like mine, they might have shrunk...
    Wow.. not only does the scale lie, so does the cotton...LMAO

      Hey ~ congratulations! That is such a wonderful achievement! I can only dream of 8s right now so i will have to live vicariously through you! Hee hee.

      Thanks for the tip about the old jeans and cotton ~ i am one of those people who saves everything. I have everything from size 4 through 18 in my closet somewhere. (I have bins and bins of awesome clothes!) I can virtually dress anyone, any size! Maybe it is time for me to donate some of those older things to charity, pass along to smaller friends, and look forward to buying new things in the future!

      Again, congrats on the success!

          AWESOME!!! I know what you mean about buying new clothes. I bought some new clothes this weekend and last weeked and it's nice to have them fit comfortably around the waist instead of being tights. How you CLOTHES feel is really a GREAT indicator of your progress towards your goal...
