Unfortunately, this isn't my first rodeo with loosing 100+ lbs. Hopefully my last though since I have the help of my surgery now!
Point is, I have/had clothes from a size 26 all the way down to a 16 that I have always saved. So I don't really get to buy any clothes unless I need something for a specific occasion.
This time I have been getting rid of clothes though, I really don't plan on going back! I have donated 5 trash bags of clothes that are too big already!

Buuttt, Once I hit my goal I will need probably a little bit smaller and then it's on!!!

Yay you! Congrats on so much more than those great #s on the scale. Better health, less pain, tossing too big clothes, etc are among the many NSVs to celebrate.

So some days I look at pics and I think "my head is so fat" and other days I am like "look how skinny your face is getting" and then... my cousin sent me this... and shesh... I HAVE A NECK AGAIN! The left was at this past Christmas and the right was last weekend.

OMG, me too! Below is a photo of containers of my “skinny girl” clothes. Some of the containers are family winter clothes. Some of my skinny clothes still have tags on them because I would lose a bunch of weight and gain it back within six months. I went through some containers last weekend and was disappointed because I only went down one size and many of the bottoms were snug. My body looks saggy and puffy, even after 50 lbs lost. Oh well, it’s a slow journey. I’ll get there eventually, right? I plan on giving away the “big girl” sizes too. Never again!

Don't know why, unless it's some weird law of gravity, but it seems easier to lose weight/fat in the upper half faster than our lower halves. Is it just the way weight is distributed in women? Anyway, my top half sizes do not necessarily match my bottom half since WLS. But it will even out someday for each of us, hopefully soon. I think my walking almost daily is starting to help. Time will tell! ❤❤❤❤

I know this feeling, I have always carried my weight in my abdomen. I have small arms, small thighs and legs and NO BUTT! haha My pants size has always been 2 sizes smaller than my tops. It is annoying!
Even at my smallest in adult history, still bigger shirts and pants!
