So, I needed to get some tee shirts, for training and general/casual wear as mine are now like tents.

I ordered them on line and was brave enough to order a size 16 (UK). When I took them out of the wrappers, I looked at them and thought 'Hmmm... too small for me!' I showed them to my hubby and he said 'They might have to go back love, they're a look small!' Feeling a tad dejected I tried them on, I had nothing to lose, and I was in the comfort of my own home... and here is the good bit!

THEY FIT ME! Yay!!!

Ok, ok, they fit where they touch, but I can certainly wear them in public... What a great moment of victory! Put a smile on my lil face after a few stressful weeks!!

Coops I know exactly what you mean when you say no one else really gets it! I bought a skirt for my sisters rehearsal dinner and the 12 was too big, The 10 fit perfectly and I was thrillled with myself, told people and they were like "thats nice" but everyone here knows what it took to get there and how excititng it really is. GREAT JOB!! We do get it!

GOOD FOR YOU COOPS!!!! Maybe hubbie needs to be shipped back! What did he have to say for himself after you showed him that they fit?? Men! I'm proud of you COOPS!!!!! (doing the happy dance for Coops!)

I'm still too shy (not confident) to shop in a store. I won't do it. . I still order out of the catalogue from Roamans or Lane Bryant. (dumb huh?)

Hey thin... thank you... love the happy dance!!

Oh the hubby, ain't he a star!! Gotta love him; he just looked and said 'Wow!'. I think he was as gob smacked as I was...lol!

I know what you mean about going into a clothes shop, I still feel out of place when I am in the 'normal' range section and I get paranoid that people are looking at me and thinking 'Yea love, you ain't got a chance to fit into that!' And then there is a part of me that realises they haven't even noticed that I am there... weird! I am going clothes shopping on Sat, and I am going to try and embrace my demons... I have to come home with something for the Take That concert, so I have to try things on!!!

Wish me luck!

YAY !! what an amazing feeling

<3

YAY YOU! That must've felt great! Love those little NSV's!!! Smiles to you!!!
