    Default They fit!

    OK, this NSV will never get old. We've had a super chilly and rainy spring. Just the past week or two I've been able to dig out my shorts and t-shirts. I am never less than astonished that I can choose any pair of shorts and any top, just put it on, and look good. This is stuff I bought 4 years ago. (I do a little updating every season, but now that I'm retired there isn't much I need).

    Fat Sharon had to try on everything she owned to try to look the "least bad." And shorts were out of the question. I refuse to wear capris now, just out of principle, as that's what I used to live in, even at the beach. OMG they were hot at the beach!

    It's the little things....

    I'm happy for you!!! getting to wear those smallest sizes is the best thing!

    Last time in a short for me was before the first pregnancy...23 years ago!!...after last Summer's surgery, bumps are gone on my legs, but instead there is scars....doesn't look good, plus I'm still far from where I want to be.
    I will probably never wear shorts again, but that's really ok!!! actually looking for those special bathing suits with sleeves to wear with those beach pants you know with all my issues I'm not going to have the corrective surgery this year, it does look bad. Anyway....still alive for complaining/laughing!!! happy about that!

    Rome is so cool, have fun! Around every corner you'll see something amazing. And walking, I don't think I ever walked so much in my life as in Rome!

    I can't wait for that feeling! Its' always hot in South Florida. I'm not a shorts person but I would love to wear cute dresses and sleeveless tops. Oh how I've refused to wear anything sleeveless for so long no matter how screaming hot the weather is.Hope I don't end up with massive bat wings after the weight loss! I'm always the one in black pants, sneakers, and baggy tops. I'm gonna BURN those black pants when they no longer fit, Haha!

    That's so cool!

    One of life's (not so) little pleasures these days is being able to buy clothes in sizes I only ever dreamed about.
    We are travelling to Italy later in the year and I too am really looking forward to walking everywhere. We are planning on doing the "Walk of the Gods" on the Amalfi Coast which just looks spectacular. I think there are about 1500 steps to climb to the top

    I’m traveling to Munich on the 7th of June and Venice on the 16th of June. I was SO EXCITED to go out and buy new clothes (including shorts!) for the trip. I’m nowhere near done losing weight but to just be able to get rid of a closet full of clothes sounds WONDERFUL!

    I am really happy for you.
    I don't want to wear shorts anymore, because the skin of my thighs is hanging on my knees...

    My skin isn't perfect either, in fact now you can see some ugly veins in my legs that were never visible fat. I'm just hoping people don't look that closely.

    People probably pay no attention at all, it is just my own insecurity.

    First, you are a lovely woman so I doubt they are focusing on anything but your lively, lovely face. And I've noticed that most folks are more concerned with their own "deficiencies" than my perceived ones. It's funny in a way that we worry more about things we notice and no one else does!

    I have "chicken legs' (they've always been thin even when I wasn't). But no one has ever called me "slats"~
