Still freaking out over clothes shopping today...

I went out clothes shopping today for the first time since my DS surgery. I couldn't put it off any longer... my belt was at the smallest notch and my jeans were hanging on my ass like the sleeve of a wizard. I almost forgot how fun clothes shopping is.. it's been about 10 years since I really enjoyed it (back when I was 135 lbs due to a starvation diet, too much exercise and not enough sleep. Long story.)
Where to go? I swore to myself that I would never step foot in a Lane Bryant again after my surgery. No more fat stores for me. I decided to try Land's End. They carry some larger stuff along with regular sizes. I expected to just buy a new pair of jeans to get me through the next month or two. I ended up buying half the store, or it least it seemed that way.
I totally freaked out when I tried on a size Large and it fit perfectly. Not LARGE in the PLUS SIZE area... but Large in the REGULAR ladies area. Holy shit! I ended up buying three tops that actually fit me and make me look so much thinner than the crap I've wearing since my surgery. I also got a cute new fleece vest and a new winter Jacket (it's cold up here!). The biggest shocker was the size 16 jeans. My old jeans were 20/22's at least. I think. They had a tag that said Lane Bryant Petite 3. WTH? What's a Petite 3? That must be their code for not letting you know how fat you really are.
Anyway... I had the gal at the checkout cut off the tags so I could run to car and put on some of my fancy new stuff right away. My joy quickly turned to annoyance when I got to my car and found that some dipshit had parked 10 inches from my driver's side door. I figured I was screwed and would have to try crawling through the passenger's side door and over the center console. Well, I squeezed and I fit through my door. Barely. I never would have been able to fit my ass through that small car door opening a few months ago. After that I drove to a remote spot in the parking lot, stripped off my crappy old fat clothes and put on my jiggy new threads.
I am so high on myself right now. Someone please slap me back to reality.
