Might sound funny... But i ordred a t-shirt from my PSY dept this term. The biggest they come in is xlg, and they run small so i never bought one before cause i figured i'd never be able to wear it...

Today i ordered mine. I realized this time it won't be one of those purchases that i hope to fit into someday and someday never comes. I figure this time around, someday WILL come! :) and when it fits, i'm sure ya'll will hear about it! Lol!

Anyways, just had to tell people who'd get it!

Sounds like a great focal point...when it feels like the process is taking forever, look at the t-shirt...a reminder of where you will soon be!

I have a shirt like that. A few years ago we had shirts made with our hospital name and "NICU" on the front, and our name and credentials on the sleeve. 2x was the largest size available and I'm only now able to wear it.

It's my favorite gym shirt :)

Put on a jacket today it was a large. No big deal but before surgery nothin smaller than a 3X would do!

Becca, that's great! I went to a little shop I love 2 days before surgery to get hair bands and they said t-shirts were 25% off. I love SassyFrass tees, but never spend that much on shirts because I'll out grow them. I looked, not planning to buy, But I found one with Jeremiah 29:11. I really wanted it, but the largest was XL. Finally convinced myself that XL was in my future and bought it. You'll fit in yours, I'll fit in mine, and we'll do a happy dance together!
