WOW!!!

Here is bit of an update...as promised.
My mom sent me a box of clothes that arrived yesterday. Most of them were size 12 but I decided to try on a few of the pants because they looked like maybe they would come close to fitting or even possibly fit. There is a really cute skirt that is a size 14 but looks like a 14 some of those 12's look like 14 or 16's. So anyhow I tried on the skirt and it fits not able to wear it in public yet BUT it fits!!! In another 5 or so pounds I should be able to wear it in public. I am hoping to be able to wear it to my next appointment with my surgeon in two weeks. As for the pants there were some really nice black pants that I was really hoping would fit and I would be able to wear because I have no black pants they looked like maybe so I tried them on and they fit. I am wearing them today! Granted they are tight around the middle and I have to wear a longer shirt with them because of the tightness but I Am WEARING size 12 pants today!!!!!! Of course it has to due with the cut of the pant and the material but all that aside I AM WEARING size 12 pants!!!! there was also a cute pair of white pants and a khaki pair as well both fit but will need longer shirts for a few more weeks but they FIT!!! In about 10-15 more pounds all the pants should be fitting me very nicely indeed. Or if I can just get motivated to do ab workouts...maybe sooner than that.
To put this in a little perspective a year ago I would not have even been able to get a size 12 up past my knees much less buttoned and zipped them up. SO this is a humongous occasion! Ithink that if I wereto go try on clothes I would actually be closer to a 16 than a 12 but Isure d olike being able to get in some 12's!
