Yay!!! I still find myself picking up larger stuff or picking up things in my size, looking at them incredulously, like now ay in hell will I fit in these! and then i do!!!
I do the same thing Sylvie - and even when I was shopping at JCP a couple weeks ago, I was like daring myself to buy a medium - but scared to go try it on in the fitting rooms - which I hear are a mess nowadays - so thank goodness I'm coming back to them tonight for the holiday season! Got home and tried them on, and was pleasantly surprised - to think I used to be in the plus size department, and I felt so out of home looking for clothes in the regular size department. Hopefully by working there, I can downsize my mental image and truly believe I am not plus size anymore. That's one of the hardest things to fight, the concept that we should be in bigger clothes when we are actually smaller. SIGH
