Very silly NSV!
Wow, I do love to read about clothing NSV's ;-D You've made my day and I
know you must be doing the Happy Dance ;-D Congratulations! Elaine K 331.4/194.2/179 Kate Dicey wrote: There was this pair of black stretch cord trousers I made a few years back...

... Laura wrote: WTG, Kate. What else is in your charity box? You might find some more good clothes to wear. Oh, nothing much! Did a charity run just a week or so back. There's a dress that I tend to wander about in, looking for the way out... Fits like a marquee these days! The dove grey one I made for my friend's wedding last summer went to the charity shop a couple of weeks ago! I ought to have kept it, as it was the trigger for the weight loss, but I just couldn't bear to look at it! All that work making it, and I wore it ONCE! Next thing to go will be my silk dress, but I might keep that as a 'before and after' dress - much nicer than the grey one! No I will NOT be taking it in! It's fully lined, I hate alterations, and while it may be 100% silk, it cost less than £20 to make, and I have worn it plenty of times (at least 3 Christmas parties and two New Year celebrations, plus a couple of dinners and a hen night! Not bad for a £16 remnant dress!). If you hit the URL below, you can find a picture of me wearing it along with the sari jacket (also now way too big!). I'm constantly amazed at the difference a 26 lb loss has made! It doesn't seem like much compared to some folk here, but it is making a big difference to me and my wardrobe! I love the jacket. Too bad that can't be altered a little. I do understand the big difference 26lb makes. I'm officially down 23lb, unofficially 26lbs (scale is currently fluctuating between 220 and 222 these days). I can no longer wear my size 2x clothes to work. Thank god I have a bunch of size 1x knit slacks and plenty of 1x tops. They are starting to get baggy too but I should be able to wear them for at least another 10-15lbs. Then I will have to start buying some clothes. -- ~~Laura (LJ)~~ 246/223/221 10% 237/223/225 SWWC started WW 4/21/03 |

Kate --
Don't think that is silly at all. I tried on a pair of pants that fit wonderfully last winter and they were just too tight still tonight, so those will have to wait just a bit longer.

That is why my exercise bike is in the living room in front of the TV. No
excuse not to ride and watch some TV at the same time. Debbie "ray miller" wrote in message ...
