Guest guest Posted March 27, 2003 Report Share Posted March 27, 2003 I need to tell someone who understands about my experience today. You are the ones. There is a nice Talbots store nearby. I never went in the store because I knew they did not carry plus sizes. I could not even dream of wearing those stunning casual dress outfits in the window displays. (They are also a little pricey.) Well.....today I went in. I looked around at the sale racks (that always attracts me). I found several dresses that appealed to me. I had no idea of their sizing. I tried on a nice red cotton knit in a medium. The saleslady came in and said " you are tiny, you need that in a petite small " . I have never been told that in my life. I giggled and smiled. She thought I was nuts. She then brought me several dresss in petite small. They fit!!!!! I was thrilled, bought 2. She had no idea why I was so excited. The next time I go, I will show her my before picture. I love doing that. I used get a size 32 and hope it would fit, never tried on in the store, so I wouldn't be embarrassed to say it was too small. This 207 lb loss and TT has made such a difference that I am afraid I will wake up from this dream. Can it be real for me?? Is it temporary?? I was a fat 5 year old who became a super morbidly obese grandmother. I do not know life out of the fat lane. I have to adjust to this new me before I change back. Is it possible to stay like this? I am healthy and happy and I can walk, no cane or wheelchair. Thanks for letting me rejoice. Sheila Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
