Default Wow!!!

I am so excited!!! I finally had 2 buy new blouses, and I was able 2 buy them in the normal size section instead of the fat section. Of course its the largest of the normal, but thats ok too. 20 more lbs or so & the X is coming off the label.

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

It feels great to be on the last size "OUT OF THE STORE"....I was in a 30/32 for soooo long!!!!

Congrats in the "normality" of the clothing world!
Good for you!!

Way to go, Tonya. What a great accomplishment. It's such a feeling of freedom when you can start being picky about the clothes you buy, instead of only looking for something that comes in the plus sizes, not even really caring what it looked like, just that it was big enough that I could fit into it.

Default Woo! Hoo!

ISN'T THAT THE BEST FEELING IN THE WORLD? I CAN'T SAY BEING A GUY, THAT I HAVE EVER BEEN INTO SHOPPING, BUT LATELY WHEN I ENTER A STORE, THE FIRST PLACE I HEAD IS TO THE MEN'S CLOTHING DEPARTMENT. LOL I CAN'T HELP MYSELF. I STILL AM A VERY QUICK SHOPPER WHEN IT COMES TO GOING TO A STORE, BUT NONE THE LESS, IT'S A GREAT FEELING JUST TO NOT HAVE TO HEAD TO THE SWEATS PART OF THE MEN'S SECTION. WAY TO GO THERE, TONYA! COME TO THINK OF IT, I CAN'T REMEMBER EVEN THINKING OF THE SWEAT SECTION WHEN I AM IN THE STORE. LOL YES, I AM YELLING, BUT AM AWARE OF THAT AND JUST WANT TO GIVE INSPIRATION TO ALL THAT COME ON TO POST THERE WOWS! TAKE CARE TONYA AND KEEP TRUCKIN MISS NORMAL SIZE CLOTHES VERY SOON.

I've move out of the woman's department at least... as long as the misses have 18s I'm golden. I just bought a brand new WHITE suit (yes white! How many times do you see a big girl in a white suit... not to often, so this was a great ego booster for me) in the misses department at Penneys!

Congrats on MOVING ON DOWN!!!
