So this morning I was looking in my closet and came across my red Columbia coat that's a 2x and decided to try it on, thinking it wouldn't fit, but it did! I was a size 5x (well, probably a 6x since the 5's were pretty tight) at this time last year and haven't been able to wear my jacket for the past 4 winters!
Then I discovered my size 24 jeans are loose enough to just slip them down my legs w/o having to unbutton them. I was in a super tight 28 jean So I must be a size 22 now. Sweet!
And a few hours ago I tried on my first pair of yoga pants (I've never owned a pair before) that I got as a present for Christmas and not only did they fit, but I found that I actually have a small amount of space between my thighs now. I can't even remember the last time my thighs were small enough not to rub against each other from the very top to almost down to my knees. So despite being at a heavy weight still, I'm feeling pretty darn good about myself nowadays!
And finally, my boyfriend of 6 years come this February keeps noticing small things like how he can feel my bones Lol. My hip bones, collar and shoulders, and last night he was like, "Are those your bones?!" I was laying on my back and my ribcage can be felt easily now. Pretty cool!
I'm so very glad I pushed myself to lose as much weight as possible before my surgery last year! I hope everyone else is having a great time with their sleeve
