JUST PLAIN JANE
My epiphany....
May 10, 2009
So....I was totally unprepared for the feelings of shopping in the regular size department. I hadn't even thought about it until I was standing there in the store and was just overwhelmed with the realization that I can shop somewhere other than the plus-size section again. It's been about 11 years. Way too long. I could have cried standing there, but was afraid people would think I was a freak. It has happened to me a couple of times since then as well. I found myself wandering thru the Women's clothing and was thrilled that it doesn't apply to me anymore. I am so grateful that I have the chance to feel better about myself again. My friends are surprised now when I say that I always hated being so big. They say they could never tell I was embarrassed. Funny how people perceive you differently than you do yourself. I feel.....free. Just better. And happier in the small moments of my day. This surgery has been a blessing for me.
