NSV! Someone assumed I was a small! +pics
It's so great when people have Non-Scale-Victories! I've never posted one until now. I think it's because all the comments and being able to fit into things really weren't surprising to me. And it sure seems that for it to qualify as a NSV it really has to take us aback!
So my boss is like a size 2 and while complimentary about my weight loss, we are not particularly close. Last night she sent me an email saying she had bought a top for herself on clearance, size small, without trying it on and it was too big for her but she thought it might fit me. ME!
This morning she brought it in and it's a sweater-like shrug so lots of stretch but nevertheless labeled a Macy's SMALL and it really did fit me well. I'm in a SMALL!
I knew my size 8 petite bottom half was now considered "S" but my 36D chest sure has prevented me from seeing myself as small on top. I can't believe it fits!
The best part was that she thought of me as someone who could fit into it. Awesome!

I was shopping at Christmas and had something similar happen. I really wanted this fauz suede jacket, but couldn't find a small. I asked the salesperson if they had a small somewhere. She looked me up and down, then kinda laughed a little and said "No offense, but are you sure you are a small?" I thought - great, here it comes. Then she says "I really think you should try an X-small." I was floored.
Congratulations!
