pieinsky Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 had a non scale victory today. i love boots, but i have never found a pair of boots that i both liked and could wear. i am uncomfortable wearing heals because i am very self-conscious about my height. it is hard to find fashionable flat or low heal boots. and on the rare occations that i have found a pair of flat boots that i liked, i have never been able to find a pair that fit. usually the sizes stop at a size 9 (i wear a 10). so i usually don't even get a chance to try any on. on the even more rare occations that i have found a pair of flat boots i like, in a size 10, they have never closed over my calves. even last february (7&1/2 mths after being banded; and 60lbs down) i still couldn't find boots that would fit over my calves. several bandsters have posted that their feet had shrunk a size along with the rest of their body. unfortunately, that hasn't been my experience. today i was shopping and saw a pair of flat boots, on sale, and available in a size 10. so i decided to try them on---and they fit!!!! i actually got to try on THREE different pairs of boots. and they all fit. after years of searching for just one pair of flat boots, i actually got to chose among several. it was a very happy victory. happy halloween to everyone.

What a great accomplishment, especially since boots are so cute and in fashion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhawkchick75 Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 That is so fantastic!!! The boots I have are stretchy, but I was so excited when a pair of shoes that my feet had gotten too fat for fit again. What a great feeling!! Here's to many more!!

Smiley Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 Congratulations! =D> My feet were the last thing to go down and I didn't even realize they had until I started trying to wear my winter shoes and kept walking out of them. So, there is still hope for those of you wishing to wear a smaller size, or width as was my case. I never would have worn high heel boots two years ago either, but after Christmas last year I got some 3 inch ones and they will rarely leave my feet this winter. It is amazing the things you will try/do when you are so much smaller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
