I just wanted to tell everyone how happy I am so far with what I've achieved. I've put in so much work and it's been paying off! I always dreamed of buying really nice clothes that were from normal shops, rather than frumpy clothes that made me feel worse about myself. TODAY I went into my local shopping center to try and brave the clothes shops again. To my utter joy and surprise, I fitted into things! I bought some lovely clothes and I feel so happy! I'm finally starting to feel 'normal' if such a word applies. Anyway I just thought I'd let you all know what's i've been experiencing and my recent revelations.

Thanks for reading and remember WE CAN DO THIS! :)

    Aaaaaaw! That is so freakin awesome! I remember that feeling of no longer having to shop in the plus size store... It has been many years for me now, and sometimes I still forget that I can shop at the "regular" stores. :D

    This is a great place, with many wonderful people. Best of luck on your journey!!!

    I know how great it is to not have to shop at the Big n Fat stores anymore! And you have it right... it does take hard work, but so many people on this site have done it I can't help but believe that everyone can do it - if they just will.

    I loved your post!! You're so right, wearing clothes that are frumpy does make us feel frumpy! Keep up the good work and I can't wait to shop for 'normal' clothes!

    Thanks! It really is a wonderful feeling, almost like a deep breath of new air. I can't describe it, but it is an abounding sense of achievement.

    Love your positivity and happiness at being able to wear clothes you like.
    I love clothes shopping myself, and know how good it can make you feel to buy something new and feel great in it.
    Well done on your progress so far.
