I always know when my clothes are looking a little ridiculous when I get a lot of comments so I figured that it was once again, time to adjust. At lunch I took the hour and went to Kohls to find a pair of jeans and spent the entire time trying on clothes from the misses section alone! Yay!
For most of you men out there, you probably have no idea how this type of segregation can damage one's soul since your clothes are usually pretty generous before making you head to the big and tall section. But, let me tell you.... Yesterday a whole new world opened up for me! I could shop the ENTIRE store. No longer was I exiled to the meager 200 square feet where they put the elastic waist jeans next to the fabric boxes they call shirts. I wandered around and wondered how women ever found anything when there is so much to choose from! I think I need to break this new ability in slowly because I'm pretty sure that shopping at the mall would make my brain explode.
The best thing is that it is now only a matter of time, before I will be able to be unleashed at The Buckle. (To my dear sweet husband, we each need another job) Hahahahaha. In truth, it'll be some time before I will be "unleashed" since I still won't be at goal weight, but you can bet your bottom dollar that the moment I can buy an entire outfit there, I will be having one heck of a party!

Sheila, I know EXACTLY what you mean about Buckle! It has been 2 yrs 4 months since my surgery and just last week I finally got a pair of Miss Me jeans (size 26 waist). I too never thought I would ever own a pair of $150 jeans but I really needed a reward. Just think by next summer not only will you be able to buy jeans from Buckle, you will need shorts, sandles, a couple tops, and accessories lol. You may need to take out a second mortgage on your house hahaha.... seriously you look amazing!!! I cannot believe it's been 12 weeks already. Keep up the great work!.... I was telling you mom today about some fantastic sugar-free desserts I made up. I will email them to you. But I need your email address :)
