window shopping

This evening, I had a work event in a restaurant at a really trendy mall here - Versace, Coach, Tiffany's etc. I usually hate going in that mall because about the only thing I could ever hope to buy there that would fit me is a hat or some gloves.

As I was leaving, I passed Valentino, which had the cutest red dress in the window. It dawned on me: one of these days, I'm going to come here and try EVERYTHING on, simply because I can! SO THERE fancy smancy mall! Take that!

The date is drawing near. My mindset is sort of like it was right before my kids were due. Nervous excitement.

You and me both!  Isn't this so exciting?  I may even try on a million awesome wedding gowns just to be entirely 'in the moment'...it's the moments that count and the weightloss that can make some moments that much more appreciated!

I hear you. When I lose weight I'm going to take a vacation to Vegas and go shopping. I remember one time about 10 years ago I went to Vegas with a few friends. I made the mistake of not packing anything for a "fancy" last min dinner we were all invited to. All my friends were able to go out to the local shops and pick something up. There were no plus size stores in the area which left me with nothing. I ended up telling them I didn't feel well so I didn't go (truth was I was dying to go but was too fat to find something to wear)...ended up staying back in the room and ordering food :( They came back talking about all the fun they had...I wanted to cry.

I feel ya...when I get to my goal, I'm going to New York City to shop like a mofo! 

Shopping??? What's that??? LOL... for 7 or 8 years I've only been able to "click, click, click" to buy clothes that magically show up delivered to my door a few days later.

I can't imagine what it would be like to walk into a store and try something on either! I can't wait for no more mail order clothing for this chick!! lol!

Well Nikke you better start preparing yourself cause it's going to happen!  Can't wait to get my sleeve!
