I am back down at goal and have been just hovering at cracking back down to 163. I noticed that the jeans I have been wearing for the past few months have developed a small hole right in the middle of my backside. At REI I flicked through the sales rack and found a pair of zipper pants (long pants that can be be turned into shorts with the pull of a zipper around the legs. I took them out of the size large section and took them to the dressing room (I always wear at least one size bigger at REI). I tried them on they fit slightly snuggly but were short. Grace looked at the tag and said well mom they are size 8 petites..no wonder they are too short! I actually put on a size 8 petite and zipped it. So I went out and rifled through the rack and found a size 8 regular pair of pants and a cool skirt from the same company. Hell yes I bought them!!
Still on my size 8 high I went over to Macy's and tried on replacement jeans (the 10's were too big and I got another 8). plus several blouses in size 10 (I have worn 12 on top). and lovely pair of baggy linen pajama pants that I have always coveted and now own!
Oh...like is juts dandy :) and I am ready to pack my bags for Europe in a few short weeks.
xxxooo
Living with a lapband after seeing goal is just as much work as getting there. This blog chronicles my journey to qualify for band surgery, my work to goal weight and now living with the band long term. Weight will always be an issue but there is a whole lot of living to be done.

Are you coming over to the UK when you say 'Europe'?
Awesome! I still get excited about new sizes. I had no problem getting on 10's at j crew (which runs small) yesterday and was happy.
8's seem so small because they are single digits.
Wheee! What a great shopping trip.
