Old Habits Die Hard

Now.. for years.. and I mean YEARS..  I have longed to shop in the regular size section of any clothing store.  I have browsed while women looked at me like "Hey!  Fat Girl.. the Plus section is in the back.."  Now.  someone please explain to me WHY ON EARTH I am stopping by the plus section to look for pants before I realize that I no longer wear plus sizes..  LOL  Weird.

Perhaps you're in the plus size section to choose a lovely outfit for me for Christmas?? Aw - thank you. You're so thoughtful...hee xoxo

Darn Mare.. you cannot surprise you for NOTHING!  LOL

I don't know, but I do it too. Today I was looking for a new coat ... thinking it might finally get cold soon. At any rate, I walked past LB and Catherine's and longed to go in even though I knew that the don't carry misses sizes. I guess we just get comfortable with something and it's hard to make the changes.

One of the things that I noticed is that it's a little harder for me to find good "camoflage" clothes in the regular department ... I mean the stuff that hides the little spare tire I carry around with me now.

It's nice to "have" to shop in the regular size sections though.

Enjoy shopping in the misses department!

It is funny.  I went to the LB Outlet a while back to buy some bras.  When they did not have my size (everything was too big..) I was SAD.  Go figure!!  LOL   Change is easy.  It is the changing that is hard. 

oooh, I don't have that problem yet but I'm sure looking forward to the day when I do! 

I TOTALLY hear you on the "fat girl in the skinny dept" thing...even going into Gap to buy things for my son, I feel uncomfortable.  Like they're staring at me thinking "what the??  you can't fit anything here!"  I am (well, used to be) addicted to clothes shopping...I can't wait to be able to wear whatever I want again.  Ahhh, that will be awesome!! Congrats on getting so small!!  heehee  You're looking soooo good!

Well.. I guess if you have to have a problem.. that is not a bad one to have. 

Hey Jen, I was looking for a pumpkin colored top to wear Halloween, couldn't find anything.  I strolled past the "plus size" section and lo and behold a bright pumpkin top caught my eye.  I said to myself, "Oh h__ll no.... no no no no no....

Now see.. that is funny.. because I have needed a pair or two of slacks for work and needed an 18 or 16 M.  NOW, the plus size section has great looking slacks and I cannot find many in the regular section.  Go figure. 

It'll suit my happy A$$ just fine if I NEVER grace the doors of Lane Bryant ever again! Or any plus size, women's world, whatever you want to call them departments. I get such a huge thrill from deleting myself from their email lists and chunking the catalogs in the trash before I even peek inside at all the normal size women wearing moo-moos.

I swear I should be a plus size designer. Crappy old matronly looking mess. Hey...big girls curves can be sexy too you know. Or at least in style for this decade.

Me? Miss the plus size pushers? I think not!!!

:::whew:::that felt almost too good!
