My Easter Treat!

[John In Illinois]

I did something today that I have not done since I was a child.

I went shopping, and bought myself all new Easter clothes!

I am finally feeling good about how I look, and my family (sisters and such) have not seen me since waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay many pounds ago. I am going to see them all on Easter, and with the fashion advice of my Best Friend in the whole world, decided on buying a new set of slimmer clothes.

I went into Kohl's, and I was amazed to discover that my pants size has dropped TWO ENTIRE SIZES , and if I pushed it, I could have went 3 sizes down!! The silk blend t shirt that I bought (never in my life imagined OWNING a silk blend t shirt) was also an entire size smaller!


<--can you tell I am happy??? LOL

Wow! Congratulations
I'm sure you are going to look fabulous

 

[Hannosmom]

Can't wait to hear the follow- up and all the compliments will be well deserved - we expect a full report of all the oooooohs and aaaahhhhh's

Oh, John!

It was a great idea to buy new clothes that fit and will look terrific on you. And a silk-blend tshirt! It sounds luxurious and comfy. I'm so happy that you are treating yourself this well- you deserve it!!

Does your family know how much weight you've lost, or will this be a total surprise for them? I know they will be thrilled with your progress, just as we are here.

This will be an "Out-of-left-field" TOTAL surprise for them. They do not even have an inkling that I have lost an ounce!!


Devious I know! LOL

I wanted to be able to wait til there was no doubt about results before showing them the "New & Improved" me.

 

[KathyTX]

They don't know!?!?!?

This is gonna be GREAT!!! I wish you could have a camera crew on hand to record their reactions!

What fun- I'm grinning just thinking about it!

Isn't that just the most wonderful and excellent feeling, John?

Congratulations on your new Easter duds. Won't your sisters be surprised at the newer you, so handsome in new clothes two sizes smaller.

I'm happy and proud for you John. I wish my size would get smaller. I'm losing inches but I can still wear the same jeans, they are loser, but they aren't falling off yet. So perplexing.
