in Success Stories
Today I went shopping for new clothes for the first time since ... January I guess.
I did mostly online shopping. So easy.
There is just one "go there" shop for big sizes in Ireland, Evans.
If there was nothing to buy in that shop, then nowhere else was.
Clothes sizes rank in the normal clothes shops from 6 - 16.
Most shops have 18, some have 20, rare ones have 22.
I was a size 26 or 28. If it was rather tight, occasionally even a 28/30
So today, after my husband and my besti literally beat me to the shops, I finally went shopping for the first time.
Evans. Nothing I liked. Nothing.
And then I went to two other shops. NEXT and M&S.
And I bought two shirts and a trouser.
I still can't believe it. Me, in that shops. And I found something fitting. And it was NOT the biggest size they had. (Obviously M&S has some clothes till size 24, I didn't know)
It was such a great moment, I almost cried.
Here one of my new Shirts and the trouser and my worst weight pic.

November was size 28
This shirt now is a 22 and the other one a 20.

:bigsmile:

    ... I love reading your message... good job.

    what came to my mind as I was reading it was the fact that I also had to go online shopping for clothing... hard to find larger sizes in korea and the site I went to .... was imfat.co.kr ... everytime i when there it was like a slap in the face...
