My first NSV!

So excited ... I bought a coat today! Doesn't sound like much, I know, but I needed a coat because all mine were too big, and (drum roll) ... I BOUGHT IT AT A "REGULAR" STORE! Whoohoo! Went shopping with my hubby because he wanted to look for a new jacket and he said "why don't we look for you while we're here?" I figured "yeah, right" but we looked and I actually found something! Yes, it was in the plus section (Burlington Coat Factory) but I've looked there before and I was too "plus" for their plus section, so I was really excited. I bought two hats and some gloves, too ... because buying my coat was so much cheaper than the boutique-type plus-only stores that carry the really-plus sizes I've bought for so many years. And it wasn't even the biggest of their plus sizes! I'm on cloud 9 right now! I have a long way yet to go but this NSV really made me happy and I had to share! :)

    Great job! I understand how you feel. It makes me feel great to finally be able buy clothes at "regular stores" instead of specialty shops.

    129 pounds .... WOW!! Awesome! How inspiring. Everyone here, whether they need to lose 10 pounds or 100 (or 120, like I'm going for) is truly a winner, but seeing the big numbers come up always gives me hope. :smile: WTG! Now, get out there and buy a really great coat to reward yourself for a job well done! :smile:

    Congratulations! This is so exciting! I recently bought my first few items from the "Ladies" section at T.J. Maxx instead of the "Womans" section. So exhilarating! Can't wait to see your continued sucess! :)

    I totally know how this NSV feels. Isn't it super exciting? I bought myself a new coat the other day too and I got myself a medium when last year's winter coat was an XL. Awesome job!!!

    NSV = non scale victory. We take victories where we find them, right? :smile:

    Thanks awesome! I soooo completely understand this NSV... I have the same one. I haven't looked for a coat yet, but I did get rid of my old, too big ones. I did actually get to buy some jeans "on the other side of the asile" though... it was thrilling!!
