I bought a new dress

[Grogg1]

and it's size 12. Three years ago I would have been pleased to fit in size 18.

It's the second size 12 dress in a week I've bought. Both in M&S sale (£5 each) and a generous size 12 but still!!!

Sadly the size 12 bikini bottoms that were a £1 in the sale were not so flattering so I had to buy the 14.

Well done grogg1. Last year I cleared out my wardrobe as lost 3stone around about diagnosis. Couldn't get my head round about dress size loss and insisted I tried on all my size 16's and a few 18's before throwing out. Every time I went to shops I wanted to look for 16's instead of 10's and 12''s. It's a great feeling.good shopping. Carol

Amazing getting down to a 10. I know what ou mean about clearing out wardrobe. Over last 2 years I've done 3 clear outs but the first two lots I vacuumed pack as I was scared to through away in case the weight came back on but now they are gone. I've even given away my beautiful but too big bras. I have learnt not to save items for best as I gave away items that I had worn once or twice so now everything gets worn constantly. My daughter has a size 10 leather jacket that she no longer likes which could be mine! Not sure I'll ever make it into the jacket though but I'm not getting rid of !

Go for it gal. I love your story.and having the courage to get rid is a real biggy. Good luck and I'm sure a picture of you and the jacket will be posted here one day.
