I still go for the plus size section sometimes... I also find I now see something super cute in the plus size section... where were the cute plus sized clothes when I was plus sized?!?! Forget walking by lane bryant... I am always like ooooooo cute!!

Its also hard to get out of the fat mentality... I still feel weird going into stores like Guess or Bebe because I still feel too 'fat' when I go... I feel like the sales people and other shoppers are thinking about how I am too big to fit into anything or I must be shopping for somebody else... when that really isnt the case!

First visit to surgeon - 288 ~ bmi 45.1
2 week pre-op 252 ~ bmi 39.5

Ain't that the truth!!!  I always want to say, "Hey I'm shopping for my daughter!"  But I'm not anymore. I'm shopping for ME! I hate that "what are you doing here" look from other customers and clerks. I can't wait to lose this last 40 lbs!  Size 8-10 fits me everywhere but around the middle!  Looking soooo forward to that tummy tuck!   I'm dreaming about low waisted jeans and tiny tops.. yeah.. Love, Diane

Through God ALL things are possible!

I personally dream of shopping at Goodwill!  I see such cute things in there... in SMALL sizes.  My little sis buys most of her clothes there and always wears the kewlest outfits.  She had on this CUTE hand knit orange sweater on Halloween and I asked her where she got it.  She said "Goodwill."  (I should have known.)  I THEN said, "Well I'll be able to shop there before long TOO!" I will miss NOTHING about Lane Bryant and Catherine's, except the really nice folks at my Catherine's store.
