Didn't Sommer look great in her clothes today! I love the red top that showed her on top, but then draped the waist so nicely. I would like to see her in a floral print dress, low top, draped waist, and flowing skirt. That could work for me too! Any one want to go shopping? I went bra shopping, and would like to meet with someone at a shop to find the best dress for my shape and new size.

Yes, Sommer was trying on some cute clothes...for somebody. The styles have changed drastically, IMOOOO, so for her to be able to finally SHOP for clothes with her new size, is very new for her! New styles she can wear she's not used to.

I can imagine that when one goes thru the gastric bypass that ALOT of psychological issues come with it. To me, IMOOOO, that's what Sommer is having a problem with.

BUT, is there mention of that, Rhonda said the lady taking her SHOPPING has been thru it but I mean psychologically getting used to the NEW her and saying goodbye to the OLD her. Dr. Stan or a Professional needed.

I wish Sommer would of bought the red pants and black and red top. She looked so nice in it. very slender. But She thought it clung to her jto much. Well Kim shows more rolls in what she wears then I was on Sommer when she had the top on. Actually I didn't see and rolls on her in the shot they showed of her wearing the outfit.

It was great thought to see how excited she was about the clothes because as Rhonda said it showed she actually had fun shopping., which is a big step for Sommer.

i think has a hard time just letting go in general. If she can hide behind what she looks liek then she uses it as an excuse. I think from what i saw of her trying it on it is hard because you have this idea of what you are supposed to look like. and then when you don't see it it takes to to readjust. I know i have been thru something like it. I think too it is harder on her because she isn't done losing weight and so when she is completely done she will look great and she will have the confidence she is missing because her minds and and reality will meet.

I am so glad they went and had Sommer shop.

This will make a world of difference to her each time she puts on new outfit.

I hope they have a good bye event for her old clothes
