New pic / size 12 / :-) <-me

Before I gained a massive amount of weight (due to pregnancy and undiagnosed
IR, followed by being a WFFID for far too long) I was a size 8-12, depending on
brand, cut and what I had been eating (I was always fighting 10-15 pounds it
seems). So I had my size 22s, and then clothes half that size. Since I
exploded, rather than slowly gained, I didn't have sizes in between, and have
been buying the very minimum to get buy as I go down. I bought the minimum when
I was obese too, I didn't see the point in spending more money to look bad
anyway. Sadly, in a fit of rage and hopelessness a year ago, I threw away damn
near everything I had in smaller sizes. But some stuff that had been boxed up
in the garage had survived the plunder. I've pulled a few things out, mostly
tops that had been big, which fit fine now. But today I decided to take the
plunge and see how the bottoms fit. With my shape, the bottoms are much less
forgiving than the tops. I figured they wouldn't fit, but I could see how close
they are at least. Well, I'll be damned if 1/2 of them DID fit. Mostly size 12
or 11/12, in a few different brands. And some medium tops too! Size "M" wow.
It's all a little bit more snug than I remember, but that's temporary! I was so
happy I took a picture of myself in the mirror, LOL! It's on my link, I think
it looks the same as the one I took in June at about 185, BUT, I was wearing a
black top and dark pants there. (which hang off me now) The new pic is in light
bright colors, no camouflage! LOL! It's nice to be fitting back into "my"
clothes now.

Wow! I'm impressed. And I think you look noticeably thinner than in your last
picture.

Congrats on getting back into the old clothes. You don't have that far to go
-- and you're on the cusp of the 100 pounds mark. Excellent!

1, 2, 3...98, 99, 100. Done!

You are one very good looking lady, and also, your last hair color in
the last photo is very nice.

LOL! Thanks! Actually it's the same color, just different light. It's that
shade right between brown and blonde, and can look either.
