NSV in the weirdest places

I was told the other day by friends that I need new clothes (we have always promised each other brutal honesty) because, well, ALL of my clothes are too big. So, I went to this cute little boutique over the weekend and looked around. I remember always looking before and sales people would always acknowledge me, but must have always assumed I was shopping for someone else. The sales girl this weekend asked, "can I start you a fitting room?" Momentarily I was taken aback, but answered, "sure, why not!" As I started to hand her XL or L sized clothing, she said, "these are not going to fit you." And there I was, back in that place again, back to the what the heck am I doing in this store?? Then she followed up with, "these will be way too big on you." I can not tell you or even begin to recall the last time someone said those words to me. Stubborn me still felt it necessary to try them on. She was absolutely right, they were huge on me! All of the above are major NSVs, but the one that stood out the most, I didn't recognize myself in the mirror! I had to take about 30 glances back to realize it was me, rocking out some of the cutest size Medium clothes that I have ever seen! Our brains don't seem to catch up as fast as our bodies do!
So, with that NSV, I am hoping that it Willard it easier to get rid of my "bigger" clothes! I have piles an piles ready to be donated and something is holding me back, some cruel psychological trick!
NSV rock! They really do wonders for the self-esteem! Just thought I would share for two reasons, one being: Invest in clothes that fit, it makes a world of difference! Two: if anyone needs size 20 down to 14 clothes, 98% of them major name brands (mostly GAP and American Eagle) please let me know! I have to let go of them someday, I can't keep holding on for security! I have to embrace the new me!
