So, I ordered a binder in the summer and it didn't fit, after weeks of waiting for it to arrive. I'd ordered it from the States, and the shipping from Canada was too expensive to send it back. It had been a big splurge because I've been really broke this  last year. I shoved it away in a drawer. Instead, I've been getting by with some sports bras I had. Not ideal, but at least it was free because I already had them.

I've been slowly and steadily losing weight, and I decided on a whim to try on the binder I got six months ago--and it fit! I was so thrilled to see my new shape in the mirror. It's really amazing.  I'm excited and just wanted to share!

Wonderful and great to hear. I got one quite a bit too small, debating on sending to a donation program or hanging on to it. As I am working on losing weight you give me a good reason to hang on to it

Cheers Patrick! It feels like a miracle that this thing fits. I can't fully come out yet and start transitioning, but finally getting to use my binder is one thing I can do. In the meantime, I've been working on improving my physical condition to be as ready as I can be. And it's great to know that the weight loss is happening. I thought I was just going to have to save up for a new one.   I'd like another and will save up, but I'll be able to use this one at least in the meantime.

Aw, so glad for you! Sounds like three wins in one. You don't need to spend more money, you get to wear a binder, and you get to see how far you've come in your weight loss journey. Great for you!!
