Small victory for a smaller me

Nov 06, 2010

I went to Lane Bryant yesterday because they are having their 40% off store wide.  I thought perhaps I could find a tee shirt in a 14/16 that I could wear for a while.  All of the ones in my closet are 20's or xxl.  I have been buying shirts with a nice "drape" to hide my rolls and lumps.  Hide that fat!

Now that my profile is starting to  smooth out, I thought, "I want something form fitting!".  I have one pair of jeans that hug me (love that spandex!) and so why not get a shirt?

I tried on 5 shirts at LB, and non of them were flattering.  I am not a chesty girl and I really hate that most of their tops are really low cut.  I left there feeling a little bad.

There was a Maurices next door.  They have some plus size things, so I thought, what the heck!  Long story short, I found a great clingy burnout long sleeved shirt.  It is really comfy and....it is an xl!!  Not from the plus size rack!

I wore it with my jeans and felt great all evening!  My girlfriend who I haven't seen in 10 lbs, agreed that it was perfect!

I "released" a few more things from my closet to celebrate!

I can't wait to fill bag after bag with things that no longer flatter me!
