yep... a big Non-scale Victory happened to me today and I didn't get it. I had to get it explained to me. But once it was I haven't stopped smiling since!

: )

So I went to Pennington's (a plus sized clothing store) today to buy some new panties and bras since I'm still wearing the ones from 72 pounds ago.. not a pretty picture, I know.

I asked the sales lady to size me for new bras, so she did.

this is how the conversation went:

Saleslady: "so I think you're a DD36"

Me: "oh no way am I a double D! I don't even think I'm a D"

Saleslady: "Ok, so maybe a D36 then but we don't have any 36's"

Me: "What do you mean you don't have any 36's? Like not in stock at the moment? When will you be getting more in?"

Saleslady: "No we don't carry size 36's"

Me: "I don't understand"

Saleslady: "We don't carry that size, only 38 and up. I know that the lingerie store that is a few stores down from here is having a really good sale, you should go there for your bras and panties"

Me: "Sooooo I don't need to shop here...?"

Saleslady: "Yes, that's right, you're too small for this store"

YES THAT IS ACTUALLY HOW THE CONVERSATION WENT!!

I almost had to ask her to repeat it because it was very cool to hear!!! heeheeheeheeheeheehee

I am too small for the Plus sized store!

I can shop in regular stores!

Even for lingerie!

I was dumbfounded! (as you can tell by my side of the conversation)

It totally made my day!!!!!!

And another one to top it off was that a friend gave me a LARGE running jacket and I was going to put it in my closet not thinking that I would even get on... let alone do it up... and it FIT!!! I even zipped it up!! Did I mention it was a large??!!

Just thought I'd share!!

Today was a good day. hahaha

If you got a NSV to share, please do! even a scale one!

Aaaaaaannnnd GO!

Keep being awesome BP friends!

Heather

Yeah! Clothes shopping is the best! I love simply trying clothes on that I could never wear!

It only gets better from here!, congratulations!

Excellent!

Thank you both!

Amazing!

Awesome story !!!

Saleslady: "Yes, that's right, you're too small for this store"

LMAO. Great stuff right there.

Well done on the jacket, too.

I had a moment like that Friday night. Finally was cold enough to need a jacket and was going out for an evening out. Didn't really want to wear my everyday coat and reached for a leather coat that I'd planned on wearing for Winter of next year. Yeah....it fit and zipped and everything. Crazy. Wore it with pride. NSV's are great. Also hit a new low weight the next morning.

​Keep on killing it. I know you are working really hard in the gym and the energy has to be feeling great.

Fabulous!

Congratulations!

This sounds like one of those milestones where we need to come up with a ritual or holiday celebration it is that significant.

For someone who like me went from Sears 6x as a child straight into misses/plus size, hasn't been able to buy regular-sized clothes since age 6.

The trauma of shopping for blue jeans at Lane Bryant in high school is still seared in my psyche.

That's fabulous!

Congratulations! No longer fitting into plus sized clothes is just as great a onederland!

wow i cant wait till i get there only 2 more months and i join all you fabulous people on the losers bench

Life is pretty darn good these days!

Thanks everyone!!

Each day I get little bursts of motivation by either compliments, NSV's or by reading all of your inspirational posts!

I can't wait to hit my next big milestone (onederland!) - which I'm hoping within the week

And then the next one - 100 lbs lost and so on!!!

Let's keep kicking butt everyone!

We are all in this together!!!

Hi Dub!

Your NSV is pretty darn awesome as well!

Doesn't it make you feel lighter on your feet?!! It actually makes me feel a little more energized and makes me want to push more and do more!

It's a tingle of motivation!

A boost of energy!

You keep being awesome and keep up the fantastic work!

And the hair loss is starting. ...

A great NSV to my fear coming true....

I already had major hair loss back in June and July due to my DRESS syndrome, now I get to experience it again.

*sigh*

Oh well.. hopefully it won't be too too bad.

????

Now to the gym I go to sweat my ass off!

Another NSV.....

I fit into size 14's now!!!

Wahoooooo

This has been a good week!

That's so awesome! I had a similar experience about a month ago. I went to a Talbots store with three entrances and sections — misses, petite and plus. I went in the plus entrance and the saleslady greeted me and asked if I was shopping for myself. I answered yes and she said, "Oh, well you're in the wrong section. This is plus size. The misses section is over there." And then I proceeded to buy regular sizes for the first time in eight years!
