iamworthit Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 Ok, so it is cold in Florida this week. I realized I don't have any cold weather clothes that fit me anymore and am freaking out because I don't want to buy anything. I was freaking out last night because it was going to be 20 degrees this morning and I have to walk to get to my building at work and I knew I would be cold. My husband reminded me about a coat that was hanging in a spare closet in his office that I had forgotten about. It is a wool coat that I had when I lived in NY 17 years ago. I told him there was no way it would fit me because it was from when I was in college and I was a size 10 / 12 in college. He kept insisting that it would fit because it looked big to him. Well, I went and pulled it out to prove him wrong and LO AND BEHOLD...... IT FIT! I was so happy! It is a size 14 (I always bought big coats when I lived in NY so I could layer sweaters, etc), but still. I am still just busting because it is a classicly styled wool coat to the knee. Now I won't have to buy a coat this winter knowing I won't be able to keep it. I know it is silly but it made me realize that I have lost a lot and changed my body shape. It was a huge NSV for me...

YAY for you! Congratulations! Don't you just love it?! I'm shopping in my closets too at this point. You know how you bought something because you were sure it would fit, got it home and it was like, OMG it's five sizes too small? It's like Christmas every day! (an exaggeration but you know what I mean!) Jann Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UTdigiMOM Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 Trying on old clothes is one of my favorite things when I lose weight. How fun for you to slip your arms inside and have it fit!! Way to go. Are there some other old NY clothing boxes stored somewhere?? It could be a party. I have some old size 10 clothes in my basement and I can't wait to dive in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dontondan Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 Whoo-Hoo! Nice to get into something that hasn't fit in ages......let's you know just how much you have lost. Donna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhawkchick75 Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 What a great feeling huh! I have a whole closet full of clothes just waiting for me to drop some more weight. Congrats!! And hopefully you won't have to use that coat very often. That is why people move to Florida right!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have some old size 10 clothes in my basement and I can't wait to dive in. Yea - for years I thought I was nuts to hold on to some of these things. Now, it is kind of fun. I have a suit that I bought from Petite Sophisticate about 12 years ago when I was a size 8 that I just can't wait to get into. I hold the skirt up and it looks like I couldn't fit it on my thigh! Another couple of months and I will be there! Thanks everyone for your support! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
