NSV and Shopping victory

I like the clothing options from outdoor stores, REI kind of places. I spend a lot of time outside and would like preformance wear to deal with the elements. Before I could never fit into any of them.  Even their XL were never XL enough for me.  In fact my old snow pants were men's 3x and they were too tight when I was at my max.
So most everything I have needed I have been able to find at Thrift Stores while I was losing except rain gear.  I looked at the local outdoor store a month or so ago and still, nothing fit but the large and I wasn't willing to buy a large.  So I went Friday and not only could I wear a small, they had some rain jackets on sale and I paid $15 for one that was originally $75.  Woo Hoo.  I actually got a medium that I can put a sweater or sweatshirt under and the small that fits now and should still be ok when I reach goal. 
I was thrilled and it was another indication that I am headed towards "normal".

It's a fantastic feeling to shop in normal sizes, isn't it?

WTG, Price.

Wow outdoor gear and on sale! Thats a cool nsv!
Enjoy Price! Welcome to normal or should i say SMALL?.

Awesome, Price!! What a great find, too! Can't wait to have NSVs at the store. :) 

Very cool Price!  What a great feeling - and a great buy!  WOOHOO!!

Thanks everyone.  I have always thought of these stores as reverse vanity sizing.  Everything is smaller than the rest of the world thinks.  Actually their XL is 14-16,  instead of 20-22 I think so when I was 22 or XL is some lines, there was no way.  But it is good to have rain gear and good to get it on sale.

That is so wonderful! I know you feel great being able to buy the smaller sizes. Oh wow, I just looked you only have 10 pounds to go! That is so AMAZING!
