Hiya!

Great surprise this past week!!!  I went shopping by myself and sneaked into a Gap.  It's easily been 15 years since i've been in one.  Sweaters were on sale and i picked up a bunch to try on -- XL of couorse.  They were all too big!!!!  Most were also long and since i'm going for short tops (to show off the waist that's reappeared, i focused on one cute one.  The XL was TOO BIG!!!!!  I was so excited that I just went out, grabbed the L and bought it without trying it on.  AND IT FITS!!!!!

Ladies, you can imagine how i feel.  I went into a regular store and bought a Misses' Large sweater.  Not bad for someone who was wearing a 26/28 shirt a year ago!!!

Yay sleeve!!!!  I love my tool!!!!

Ann - you are a big inspiration for me!!  I can't wait for that to happen to me!  I am still not quite comfortable in an XL, still going for the 1X.  Keep up the good work, and keep telling us about all your successes!!!

Wow that is a HUGE NSV!  I was happy to just be able to buy an XL on the regular side of the Fashion Bug over the weekend.  And over on the plus size side I bought a couple 0X's.  I can't wait to never have to look in the plus size section of a store again!
