For the first time in several years(probably since high school, and I’m 30), I am a size large/14/32. I ordered a couple of new clothing items in a size large last week, and they arrived today and fit perfectly. I didn’t think I would ever wear a large again - it felt so unattainable. I saw any sizes without an “x” as tiny and not even in the realm of possibility, but here I am! For background, I started the year at a size 2X/20-22 and 273lbs. A diabetes diagnosis in January pushed me to really focus on my health. By cutting out soda, eliminating most sweets (except the occasional square of dark chocolate or home baked treat), and increasing my walking, I’ve now lost around 60 lbs. I still have a ways to go (my goal right now, at 5’9” and female, is in the 150-175 range), of course, but this feels huge to me. I know it’s just a label, but I never really believed that I could be anything but “plus-size” and that held me back even when I wanted to lose weight. Now I’m starting to conceptualize myself and my body differently, and I can actually imagine reaching my end goal!
