Congratulations, Amanda; you are doing so great!

I totally hear you on the shopping thing. I feel OK to shop in some stores, but others make me anxious, like I don't belong..but only once in awhile, and I think it depends on my mood. I'm pretty up and down and some days am full of confidence and feel like I could shop anywhere, and other days it's like my brain relapses to my pre op self and I feel insecure. It's weird lol.

Thanks Kathy!

Our brains are definitely weird lol

I haven't done a lot of clothes shopping...if it has a plus size section I would be comfortable with it. Outside of that, not sure I'll be all that comfortable when the day comes when I have no choice to leave my comfort zones. Reitmens, and even Walmart is a comfy middle ground.

But I do get what you mean, some days you feel better about yourself then others. Our finicky brains!!

Thank you for taking the time to write a "novel" as you say. I related to, enjoyed and was inspired by every word!!
