I went shopping this weekend with my family. While in banana Republic I tried on a sweater because I was cold. (not normal for this hot momma!) and it fit. I mean looked good in the front, back, it FIT! I told my family, "I am having a moment! " I bought it too. I have never in my life owned anything from Banana Republic! What a thrill!

Way to go!!

I'm dying to fit into Ann Taylor... I went to Avenue and bought a couple of soft waistband shorts to help just after surgery but I'm planning on that being the last time I ever go in that store!

Congrats on the success!

That's awesome!

Thank you guys! I know you get how it feels and I have just started my journey. It was such a cool moment!

Ginger Snaps I want to wear Ann Taylor and Talbots, oh and Brooks Brothers...

I just want to go to the misses or ladies section and buy something cute.... And have it fit... And not have to go to the fat lady section and have to choose between the tents covered in paisley or the clothes really made for skinny people that just look and feel terrible in big sizes. And pay more money because it's a larger size. I want to enjoy shopping for clothes. I want to buy heels and know I can wear them without killing my feet because my feet are used to dying in heels at 280+ lbs. I just want to stop seeing that look on the shop persons face when you have a question... like being big means you don't deserve respectful and good service. I just want to put on a pair of jeans and believe my husband when he says they look good

Ann Taylor.... I can't wait! Good for you!
