Weird moment

So last night I walked into Victoria's Secret to look for underwear. It's the first time I've been in the store since surgery. Before I always felt like everyone was staring at me thinking...why are you here nothing is going to fit you... Well I still felt the same way. Even though I can now wear everything in that store I still felt like I was a fat girl trying to pretend I am skinny. I ended up slinking out of there feeling like I used to when I couldn't wear their clothes. The experience was so odd for me because I haven't felt that way about myself at all until that moment. I usually love going into stores I couldn't walk into before but this one nailed my psyche something terrible. Anyone else dealing with this kind of thing?? Corinna

Sunday I had a similar experience... I was at the mall with my daughter (took her to build-a-bear for her birthday), and I walked my Victoria's Secret and wanted to go in, but I felt that "FAT" feeling and stayed away... I even tried not to look inside or walk to close to the store for fear someone was watching me.... I completely get where you are coming from.... Shawn M.

huh...wonder if it's a Victoria's Secret thing

I did the same thing at Maurice's. I was looking around and noticed the sales clerk looking at me. I immediatly though "she thinks I am in the wrong store." A minute later she came up to me, smiled and said " I was just wondering where you got that beautiful dress." She then told me that they had some summer dresses on clearance in the back of the store that she thought I might like. I guess other people don't see us the same as we see ourselves. I always think the worst. Val

I know what you mean. There are sometimes i feel like that too - I was shopping teh other day looking for a size 4 in th jeans I wanted and the sales-lady came over to ask me what size I was looking for so she can help - I said 4 - (in my head I was thinking - is she thinking - yeah right lady - you are a 4?) I completely get where yu are coming from!!! Hugs, Britt

It must be a VS thing..I went there to find a strapless bra I need for a upcoming wedding I am in.I walked in and looked real quick..(of course my husband was in his glorys..first time in 20 yrs we walked in there) and I tell ya..I pretty much ran out of the store I felt like I did not belong in there at all..Was a sad moment for me I still have not tried to go back in...And Im still looking for that dam bra..lol
