Victoria's Secret

So last weekend I was able to buy my first ever Victoria's secret bra!  I was so happy!  When the sales lady determined my size (I have gone down 2 cup sizes and 5 band sizes), she opened the drawer and said, "Here, you can choose from any of these in the drawer," I started to cry.  I have never had the 'choice' to choose a pretty bra.  I had to buy the generic full coverage ones in black, cream, or white.  When I saw flowers and polka dots, and lace, I was just overwhelmed.  Then I look over and my mom and the sales lady are wiping their eyes.  She said the best part of her job are moments like that where someone experiences how much happier they are over a bra!!!  My mom hugged me and said, 'This is just the beginning kiddo.'  I had to share becuase those of you who are thinking about it or getting close need to remember the beginning is rough, it takes time, but is it ever worth it!!!!

This is a goal of mine..and I was very touched reading that you was able to "chose". I last went shopping in there 2 yrs ago..and I could just make it in the largest size they had.. I drooled looking at all the pretty undies and matching bras..I love their bras..and think of when I can go back and feel more like a lady and be comfortable and feel pretty... I want out of the basics.. heck to just shop off rack anywhere is a goal.. sorry to go on.. just so happy for you!

I totally know what you are feeling.  I bought my first Victoria Secrets bra last month and I felt the same way.  I am now looing to be able to buy the panties!!.  Keep up the great work.  What size clothing are you thinking you will get too.  I have gone from 28 to 18 so far.  3XL shirts to XL or L misses.

Congratuations Jennifer.  Wonderful NSV (non scale victory).  I hope you enjoy many more shopping joys.  I am still in the generic, good support models, but someday will be able to try something fun too.

You are losing great, look at that ticker slipping on down there.  Hugs
