I have been shopping at Catherines (a plus size store) for years now. Last night they were having a sale and I needed some new jeans so I thought I would run by. As it turned out, all of their jeans were too big for me!

I love the employees there and they have been really supportive of my weight loss journey. Last night they told me I would have to find somewhere else to shop because their clothes are all too big for me.

WOW - A plus size store with clothes that aren't small enough! I never thought I would see the day!

Congrats Linda that is a great NSV. I can't wait until I don't wear Lane Bryant clothes anymore then I will give up my PT job there, I know I won't even mind loosing my 40% discount.

woo hoo Linda! how awesome is that?!!!! I'm in line to NOT shop at Lane Bryant ever again (when this weight is gone) and I can't wait....how wonderful to have made friends with people who understand that you have shrunk out of their clothes and send you off to a 'skinny' store!

Now the fun begins....trying on clothes at all those stores you haven't shopped at in a while...have a blast!

Congratulations what a wonderful new journey you are about to embark on.....just think of all the places you can now shop...no longer limited to the few plus size stores that are out there. ENJOY YOUR FANTASTIC NSV!!!

Linda - thats awesome, I imagine shopping at Catherines or Lane Bryant is the equivilant of us guys shopping at a big and tall store. It is the best feeling not to have to go to a "specialty" shop anymore. It make you feel normal. Congrats to my fellow May 2006 bandster! :)
