♥♥♥NSV****Shopping Trip! ♥♥♥

BobbieLee1959

Okay, today I took a shopping trip~not at a retail store where clothing is new and expensive~not at a resale store where clothing may not be my style but is relativiely inexpensive. This shopping trip was FREE FREE FREE!!

I was able to purchase (for FREE), a dazzling top and two pair of pants! I also tried on 3 more pair of pants (jeans) that I am unable to purchase at this time, but by next months' end (April), I expect these to be available for me to add to my wardrobe of comfy lovelies!

Where did I go shopping for these amazing bargains you ask??? A little place that I rarely visit, and many times look upon with scorn and disdain. The name of this little place is "The Back Of My Closet". Clothing is always FREE there and is generally in tune with my sense of style!...The only stipulation for shopping there is: Shoppers must count calories (while maintaining a healthful deficit), exercise regularly, and stay motivated enough to shop there often!

I am excited to report to all of you that when I am able to purchase the jeans, this will be the first time in 7 years that I have shopped the ladies department of this or any store for pants. For 7 years, I have bought my pants in the men's department (because they had sizes that fit)! SAD BUT TRUE!

I am looking forward to shopping more at this cozy boutique in future months, because there were many more items there that caught my eye. This summer will be great fun as long as I keep my focus!

I am depending on the motivation that I have been getting from all my wonderful new MFP friends and I will be providing YOU with the same, because I am certain that many of you have this same boutique at your house!!

I am looking toward the day when the sizes in this boutique no longer fit me, because then (and only then!) will I be making a trip into the city for some brand, spanking new items to add to a wardrobe which will pare down as I do!!!

PS. I will be passing my "other" wardrobe items to those in need at a local FREE~Market. I will be sharing info about MFP with those who seem geniunely interested in why I am donating these items, and praying for those who are not ready to make the leap into Healthyland!! Hopefully we will gain new members there!!

Thank you to all of you for helping me in this journey! Your successes and reporting of these, your tips, your recipes, and most importantly, your FRIENDSHIP, are what is making this journey a successful one for me!!

I LOVE YOU ALL!! ♥♥♥♥♥

This is wonderful, BobbieLee! There is just nothing better than slipping into something that you didn't have a prayer of getting over your bum before :bigsmile: .
