A huge NSV that I had to have explained to me.....

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
