SHOPPING THERAPY

Hello all, I have been pretty down the past few days. I don't know why, just was down. My husband took me out shopping tonight to get my Mothers day gifts as we will be at Busch Gardens the entire day on Mothers day. I tried on lots of things and to my surprise, they all fit me! Nothing from the "FAT SECTION" of the store! It's so nice to have a bra that fits!!! I got 3 shirts, two pair of shorts and two bras. Hope this NICE feeling lasts! Love that shopping therapy! Tracy

You GO, girl!! New clothes in a smaller size is better than a box of Godiva any day! I'm skirting the fringes of the "normal size" side, have bought a few things from that section. Won't be long now, so I'm waiting before I buy anything else. Can't wait to jump in with both feet! I REFUSE TO STEP FOOT IN LANE BRYANT ANY MORE!!!!!!!! Donna

Donna, I cut up my Lane Bryant credit card yesterday! They may still carry sizes that I can wear, but shopping in the NORMAL stores feels SO MUCH BETTER! Tracy

Good for you Tracy! I know that must have felt really good. We're going to Myrtle Beach in June so I'm hoping to hold off until then to buy any clothes. Maybe I'll be in a "good" 18 by then. I'm still kind of in between sizes. Have a great day and stay happy, all is well!! Jill

You will have a blast buying the new clothes in June. I swore I was not going to buy anything until I was in a stable size, well nothing new or expensive (Good Will) But I just can't resist. I never was one to go out looking frumpy in baggy clothes and I feel so good wearing something that fits me well and looks nice. I guess I'll just ebay what I outgrow! Someone will get a good deal on all of my new barely worn clothing soon! Tracy

I have bought some new clothes (on clearance) but some of them are already to big for me. My mom had given me a $50 gift certificate to JcPenney for Christmas. What a great gift!! I'm going to use that when I go shopping. Jill

Tracy, HI there "HAPPY MOTHERS DAY TO YOU" Enjoy Busch Gardens and your new clothes .... LORRAINE

I want to get some new things...non work related but I feel sooo guilty spending the $. I will be unemployed in less than 3 months for a total of 9 months. Our mortgage won't get any smaller and I will really need new clothes around September. So I don't want to go crazy. We are pretty careful with our money but at the same time I always pride myself in dressing nicely...so it will be difficult to wear the same thing all the time. Fortunately for school--wearing the same scrubs all the time is expected! SO I hope to save some $$ there.
