Shopping and pics

Went shopping in my closet last night, a concept completely foreign to my husband.  I don't have near as many pants in different sizes as I thought I had.  Shirts, shirts are another story...I have more than I will ever wear.  I moved 1 pair of work pants, 2 pairs of casual pants, 2 casual shirts and 1 work shirt into the can be worn now section of the closet.  I still have lots (and lots) of shirts in the can't wear yet section.  I also made another pile of clothes to donate, either too big, or I don't like the style.  For some reason I went through a striped phase (probably because that's all I could find that would fit at the time).

Then today I went shopping at at resale and thrift stores.  I was terrible dissapointed at the resale shops, hardly any plus size clothes.  Goodwill, on the other hand was great.  Went to two stores, at the first I found 2 pairs of black pants, one size 20, one size 18.  The second store I found 2 pairs of brown pants one 18 and one 20 and a grey pair size 20. 

Now of course those pants don't fit yet, but that's the point.  I'm going to need something in a few weeks (hopefully).  The size 22s I tried on today fit well now and I almost bought them, but I'm hoping that they will be too big soon and I still have enough pants I can wear now.  Can't wait until I can weat my new pants.  Considering two months ago I was sqeeszing into 28s, fitting into 22s felt wonderful!

Speaking of 2 months ago, or to be more specific 8 weeks ago I took my first set of pictures.  You know what that means?   New picture time, never would have thought I'd enjoy having my picture taken.  Well, I still don't as you can tell be my expression, but I love to see the difference. (Pre-surgery and 8 weeks post op.)


 
 

Last time I couldn't really see changes, this time I totally can.  By the way, it's not the same clothes, same colors, but smaller sizes. Sorry for the poor quality, and lack of cropping.

  4. Great changes! I started really noticing my own chages at around 40 pounds lost...that's when I had to start buying new clothes and having no clue what size I would be in. Gald you able to find some stuff at Goodwill. I haven't had much luck there for work clothes.
