Ok, you guys know how I wrestle with my power panties, fight with my bras, etc.Well I have finally found one piece of clothing that works. Last year I got a sweater coat but never wore it much.I've worn it twice in the past week and everytime I do someone asks how much weight have I lost.Today my friend, who just saw me last week, exclaimed over my weight loss.(It's kind of a bummer that they take it back once I take the sweater off to show them but what the heck.)Best part of it is I only paid $9.97 for it at Walmart!!My niece,who is very picky about her clothes, says she may have to ~~shudder~~ check out the clothes at Walmart now.

Sweater coats and dusters are great! I don't wear them often...I save them for special stuff. Maybe I will wear them a little more often.


I found some nice summer clothes at Walmart...capris and tops. Even if they last only one season, it is worth it.


Enjoy your new found clothes.

I got a black one that I love, but rarely wear. I will definitely be putting that baby to use this year!! Thanks for the tip.

Patty - When I saw your discussion subject and your choice of icon, I really thought you had written a second chapter to the power panties story and that you were posting on a laptop from the hospital. I'm relieved to find out that's not the case.

I didn't realize that the illusion of slimness was a benefit of wearing a sweater coat; on me, it's always been to emphasize that broad expanse around my hips. Maybe I need to reconsider....

Your friend gave you a nice compliment, and I'm sure no one would seriously take it back when you take the coat off.
