Shopping NSVs
So there is a wedding I have to go to next weekend and I had nothing to wear. I have clothes for work, jeans and weekend stuff, but nothing dressy - and certainly nothing for a formal wedding - so I had to go shopping. I honestly had no idea where to start, but I had some time on my hands this afternoon waiting on someone, so I went into nordstroms. I wasn't familiar with the store, so I just went where the sales clerk led me. After trying things on, I left the store with a size L skirt and top, and a size 12 embroidered jacket. OMG
I was on a roll, so I figured I'd stop in at Victorias Secret bc my underwear are getting too big for me. Yup, I found underwear that fit. Double wow. I knew the day would come that I would need new stuff and I would be able to shop in regular sizes, but it hadn't really happened until today and it's kind of mind blowing.
Then I ran into a friend of my mothers who I hadn't seen since christmas and she gave me the "congrats you did it" speech, all the while I'm thinking to myself I still have 70lbs to goal and a healthy BMI. It must have been on my face, because she then asked if I was still losing. I let her know I still have a few pounds to go, and I got the "just don't get too skinny" reply. I kinda don't know what to do with that, but ok.

Me too!
I had (still have) so much to lose I kind of felt like it would never be me... and it's finally happening.

Shopping is an exciting adventure when you are losing weight.... I too have nearly 70lbs to lose to not be overweight,yet have gotten the 'you are fine like you are', and 'you don't need to lose anymore' or the 'don't get too skinny'... If I told them what I weighed they wouldn't be saying that...

lol - omg - my little brother said something similar and I wanted to kill him.
Alas, I am looking more like my mom these days, but the early 20s version of her, so I'm totally fine with that.
