I answered politely that I was just looking at the color, and put it down.
I wish I could replay that conversation--she would rue having opened her fat mouth.
So I understand your fear of being trashed by the customers and clerks in the store.

Thank you Kathleen. I'm glad you liked my story.
I'm also glad no one said anything me. I don't think I would have made it. In fact I know I wouldn't have as tt already took a lot of courage for me to just go in the store. If someone would have said something negative I'm sure I would have just broken down on the spot, probably break down in tears, and run out the store. Thank goodness that didn't happen. Just the thought of it puts me in a wierd place in my heart.

Is that a photo of the actual dress up there? If so, it's really pretty!
There's nothing like the feeling of finally getting into "normal" sizes. I still can't believe that I've left plus sizes behind, myself.

Thank you Calianna. Yes this is just so wonderful. I'm still in awe. I still have a good, funny feeling flowing through my soul. I guess that would be the glow I'm still basking in.
That isn't the actual dress, but it's the same exact cut, but with a different print.
Wow! A "normal size" dress from a "little peoples store". I'm still having a bit of trouble even believing it.

Amazing. It was all just amazing. I'm still laughing and crying inside. There's a part of me that feels sad because of all the pain this weight has caused. Now here I am REALLY working my way down. It's not as hard as I imagined it to be so it actually makes me sort of sad because I've been dealing with this weight issue over 20 years now and here with this WOE it all seems so simple. So I find myself sort of kickin' myself because ALL this time all I had to do was find the right lifestyle. I'm just glad I found it.
Thank you everybody for your kind positive words.
I pray everyone reaches their healthy dream size and weight.
