SoCalPam's Journal, 02 August 2018

I stopped at Wal-Mart tonight on the way home and found a couple of little dresses on sale for $7. They're not exciting, just the kind of thing I'd wear around the house or walking the dog. The exciting thing was that the X-large was too big! The large fit like it was made for me. This does not happen in my world. It validated that I've bumped my RDI down another 100 calories to 1500/day. Today I've eaten well, including snacks, and I'm at 1255 for the day. I feel good! Today I wore a blouse I haven't put on in months. I used to completely fill it and looked like a box when I wore it. Today I could grab a handful of cloth on either side and it "flowed" like it's supposed to. I love it! These things are the types of validation I need to keep on going. It's not easy to give up foods I love, but I don't need to pull that trigger.

Good for you! I totally get what you mean about filling up the sleeves. Yesterday I was finally able to wear the Lake Tahoe shirt I bought last summer that was too tight, but now there is loose cloth!

I think this has been my favorite part of weight loss - loose clothing and smaller sizes! I actually like to shop again. Great NSV, SoCalPam!

Buying new clothes was the best part of my 18 month get fit journey. Went from 42" to 28" so whole new wardrobe required. My tip, buy something totally and utterly ridiculously expensive... There's no way you will put the weight back on if you dump $1000 into a Hugo Boss down jacket hahahaha

I'm so happy for you!!! Those are the best moments ever!! PLUS, I know for a fact (from my experiences anyway lol) that Walmart clothes run on the smaller side :-)

Thanks! I love hearing your stories!!! We all have our bobbles, but if we keep focused, the pounds do drop off.

Well u know what I think, we still can eat any food but we have to portion control if we want to lose weight

Congratulations 🎉 and from here it only gets better, just remember it’s a lifestyle change cause if u ever go back to eating the same amount of calories as before u will gain the weight back 😢

Omg it must be a Walmart day lol. Nice job on the dress find and being able to fit it well!. I found two tanks, $3&$1, in a medium at Walmart today. I was a small before kids and a medium after. Medium is my goal on clothing size. Decided to try one on and it fits! I mean it would fit a bit better with 5# pounds off but it still looks decent. I still plan to lose more but it’s nice to buy a smaller size as the last tank I bought was an XL 1-2 months ago. Don’t forget tax free weekend starting tomorrow!
