Post-Op Day 193 - Welcome to paradise!

This will be quick because Scott and I are going to dinner, but I wanted to take this moment to say that today ranks up there with one of the greatest days of my life. Why? Because today was the first time I bought clothes on the “normal” side of a department store!!!!! That’s right – I put on size XL clothes and, for the most part, THEY FIT! On top of that – they fit COMFORTABLY!!!

I was like a kid in a candy store! I couldn’t believe all the beautiful styles that were suddenly available to me! Sure – one or two things didn’t fit. But who cares because the rest of them did! I was almost overwhelmed by the options! I bought more than I planned on, but I wanted to simply cherish the moment!

When I walked to my Explorer, tears filled my eyes. I was overwhelmed. It was truly the single-most best “WOW” moment in this journey for me – and I’ve had many! It was just the first time that I felt FREED from my captivity. The world opened up to me today. Some might not understand. However, those who have lived years of plus-size shopping know damn good and well what I am saying! It’s the moment we live for in many ways. THANK YOU GOD!!
