Once upon a time,
shopping for clothes would never give me a grin. The outlandish price of the big-sizes store's
merchandise, the embarrassment of trying something on and it not fitting… or
even worse, the saleslady commenting that "We don't carry your size"….
All made clothes shopping a tense time to say the least.
Now I have not
lost a lot of weight since last winter, and my old clothing still fits me. But
I decided that "maintaining" also deserves recognition, so I went to
buy a few new items for myself today.
And I discovered
that I am a full size smaller than I was half a year ago. And at one point a sales lady asked me if I
needed help. I told her" I like this jacket, but I am not sure that this
size 44 will fit me."
"For sure not,"
she commented, "this item runs a bit small… I'll get a 46 for you."
Well, in the end the size 44 had plenty of space…. . How great to be SMALLER
than what the saleslady estimated!!
That's wonderful. I put on a couple of kilo. I'm now trying to slwoly get them off.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great feeling that is. Congrats on maintaining and rewarding yourself with some new clothes.
