Are there camera's in dressing rooms?

Well I hope not cuz if there are.... the people watching at Gordman's in Council Bluffs got an eye full. I had a party to go to Sat night so I went to Gordman's to find some jeans, shirt, and a bra. (I ended up with a nice pair of shoes too) In June I was wearing a tight 22 size jeans. On sat I picked up an 18 and just for kicks a 16. Well the 16 fit (my tummy is gross) but in the legs and butt they fit. Then I tried on a large shirt.... it fit!!! I was dancing around Then I tried on my new bra... it was so sad. I use to be a 42D.... I bought the 36B but I could have stood an A cup. I purchased a Wonder Bra - it was padded and once the shirt was over it looked like I had boobies. But on Saturday I finally realized that I have lost weight and the fatty image that has been looking back at me for 30 years is changing. With the help of the Wonder Bra my boobs didn't fade into my fat upper body they stuck out. I think soon I might be able to tell there is a waist and that I am not just one big apple looking blob. I bought the 18 jeans.. I am not ready to give up bigger sizes yet. But I was given some really nice compliments at the party. For the first time ever I felt good about me going somewhere in public. Thank you Lord for blessing both great and small..... Sorry this is so long.... but I know that many of you understand exactly what I was feeling. Have a good day and keep juggling all those balls.

Isn't it great to get to the sizes that start with a "1"? I go to try something on, especially shirts, and think, this will never fit. But it does! I wonder how long it will take our perception of our bodies to catch up to what is actual? How tall are you? Our beginning wt is close, mine 262. My original was 134 but I decided that might be too low so I revised it to 142. I'm 5'5" but have pretty broad shoulders and hips. Have a good week! Lyn

I so understand the (.)(.) issue......I having always been big chested....I had 42DDD/E before surgery.....I can now fit comfortably in my moms 38B....what a sad day that was I am still too embarrassed to buy that size, so I stuff all the skin which used to be boobs in the D cup I have left and just deal with the extra material......bummer huh I always said I wanted a reduction, hated having big boobs, but now that they are gone, it is depressing!!! WE could make our own itty bitty (.)(.) committee! lol!!! And I totally have the same issue were without my bra my boobs/skin just kinda fade into underarm backfat Oh well!! I also wanted to thank you for the nice letter about kids.....My kaite is doing much better after meeting with the teacher....I am keeping my fingers crossed!! Take Care Jesi

my boobs to are going away, 46B now 40B!!! And saggin to my knees!!! My best friends 25th wedding anniversary is this weekend & I did go out & buy some new clothes also. And a new bra, shoes! Now I'm a clearance rack shopper so bought some pink/blue plaid capri's (size 18) & a sweater blouse (hussy kind with thin strap & cowl neck) size xl! I'm in heaven since I haven't seen those sizes since high school, over 30 yrs ago! Total cost of complete outfit was $11!!! Mom taught me well in how to shop. Only wish I knew what size I would be next summer would be buying up summer clothes, well might anyway, there is always ebay to sell them! Anyone else finding clothes shopping is fantastic? And I love the fact I don't have to go to the plus size to find what I'm looking for although that's where I start first! Old habits die hard. Carolyn
