I had a Woo Hoo moment today!
Just wanted to share -- I have been in a size 6, sometimes size 4 and shop at Christopher & Banks a lot. Today, I was wandering around the mall and stopped in at JC Penney. I saw a pair of navy dress pants like I have been looking for, for a couple years now. Until today, I have found every color but navy. They had ONE pair. I looked at the size and they were 4 short. I tried them on and they were a perfect fit! (except too long).
My point here is there was a time when I couldn't find clothes in Penneys that fit; I had to shop in a Plus Size store. But to find something right off the rack - in a size 4!! WOO HOO!! It felt great! Now my only concern is that size 4 will still fit when I reach my goal. I have 13 pounds to go. It just felt so good, I had to tell everyone.
