How about some NSVs!?!?

Coolest thing happened. I went into a consignment store I've always wanted to shop at but couldn't because they only go up to size xl. in there' date=' I find a cute jacket, and I'm looking for a shell to wear under it. I ask the sales lady for help, and she goes to the Medium rack. I think she's nuts. Then she picks out this pretty sleeveless top and says "try this--it may be too big for you, though... it's a size 16."

Now, it turns out I DO wear a size 16, but the idea that she looked at me and thought I was even smaller than that was baffling. I still can't get over it! And lately my littlest daughter has been hugging me and saying "you're so skinny!"

And finally, I went on a date the other night, and we were sitting on the couch, and the guy took my legs and swung them across his. I was shocked that my legs are light enough that A) he could lift them, and he would want to have them over his. In some part of my mind I'm stil as big as a buffalo... but other people are telling me something very different!

What a head trip![/quote']

So many things come to mind:) my biggest was trying on shoes after two months of surgery . I was so excited to be able to cross my legs that I kept asking the guy attending me to bring more shoes to try on. I know I tried on about 25 pairs of shoes from the excitement. Another is buying a belt ) I had not worn a belt since junior high:)) I have cleaned out my closet twice and it's time again . The joy I see in my children's and grandchildren's eyes when they see me and hug me is the best feeling ever. The weirdest thing is when people stare at me and don't say anything:( I wish I ha done this years ago

My parents have a big arm chair and a small dog. He likes to sit next to whoever is sitting in the chair. Finally, both me and the dog can fit in the chair.
