I went shopping yesterday with my daughter and it is now enjoyable to shop. I know longer have to look for "special" stores that sell plus size clothing. I walked into Kohl's yesterday and completely ignored the Women's Plus Size section! It was such a great moment for me. It is definately a WOW moment for me!! I have gone from a size 30 in pants to a 14...and I am very happy!!
Just a wow moment I wanted to share with this great support group!!

That is so awesome! I'm getting there- I can buy my tops in the regular size store and am almost in a size 16 pant (would be now if I didn't need to breathe). I can't wait to share the same feeling as you are.

That's great! I'm happy for you.

I hated shopping pre-op. Now I love it - dangerous! It's nice to walk into a store and know that you will fit into most of the clothes for a change.

Shopping is quite addictive! And for me it takes so long now because entire stores are now there for the taking, and I can try on billions of things and not just whatever they have left in my size on the four racks of plus-size stuff!

I went a little crazy today on cheap Walmart stuff for the summer. I'm not used to having a CHOICE in what I can get!

Oh, and swimsuit shopping was even fun!! If I do say so myself, I'm looking awesome!! :)
