Has this happened to you yet? Big NSV!

 So I was at a store, purchasing some perfume at the make up counter.  I pulled out my credit card for the clerk asked for ID.  I showed her my DL (which I am 250lbs in) and she looked at it and then said "Wow, you look great".  I could not believe she notice my WL from my DL.  I mean, *****ally looks at DL pictures anyway, no one really looks very good in them.  I took a closer look at the picture and was very overwhelmed myself to see how big the difference was.  I used to think I looked pretty thin in that picture!  LMAO now!

Then I went over the Victoria's Secrete.  I don't shop there much, I think their underwear is WAY to expensive and their bras NEVER NEVER NEVER fit me.  So my friend had a free pair of underwear and $10 off bra coupon.  I told her the bra thing was useless, but she made me try one on and....WELL let's just say I am the proud owner of my very first VS bra!  and it isn't even the biggest size they make.  

I am over the moon!  I really am normal size, for the first time ever as an adult out of high school.  Why do I still feel fat?  Will that feeling ever go away?

Lisa, that is wonderful. VS has some great bras. Step 1 for you to believe that you are a "normal" size is to possibly throw away - DONATE - your clothes to those that need them because you will never need them again So happy for you in your NSV.

You know, I never thought about it, but maybe I'll be able to put my REAL weight on my DL the next time it needs renewed!  :)

Have to love stuff like this!

My office actually made me get a new security badge because the pisture totally did not look like me.

As For VS well I went shopping there but the damn thong made me feel like a had a perma-wedgie so I said no way, and I don't have boobies any more.

How cool... bet that made you feel great!  I actually had something similar happen recently...

I went to Canada with a friend for the weekend... so I had to dig out my passport that I got a couple years back.  I look MAJORLY different in the passport pic and my driver's license picture... I was worried it was going to be an issue getting back into the U.S. since they have gotten really tough on peeps coming back across the border in Michigan.

Anyway, my friend hands the custom's agent my DL and passport and he looks into the car... and looks again, keeps looking.  I'm getting nervous at this point... my friend says "she's lost a lot of weight in the last couple years".  The guy looks again, smiles and says... "you look great!"

I was surprised (and greatly relieved!) since usually these border crossing agents are all business with no smiles... but it made my day!

Congrats again... from the last picture I saw of you that you posted, you already look fantastic!

 Very cool story!  And thanks for the compliment about the picture.  I think that was an awesome picture, I just wish I felt like I looked like that all the time
