    Default "Normal" side of the store!!

    I am going to a wedding and I didn't have anything to wear that didn't make me look homeless. I went shopping for the second time since surgery. The first trip ended in a panic attack because it was overwhelming how I had NO idea what size to try and how quickly I would "shrink" out of my purchases. This time I knew I had no choice but to find something that would work for the wedding. I went in and looked and dresses on the plus side. I have shopped on this side of the store since middle school. I tried several dresses on and they all looked like a potato sack on me. I went to the other side and picked several dresses to try; I was still convinced they would not fit. The sales associate was so kind and helpful. All those dresses fit and looked good! She helped me find my first the most nonplus sized dress ever!! I called my mom and told her that I was able to shop on the other side of the store!! To many people this isn't a big deal but to me am over the moon!! I can't wait to get all gussied and show off this new Iook.

    It's such a wonderful thing! And I live in a small town and wish I could go shopping a little more often!


    "Lee, by "own it!" your daughter means that you should be proud of your accomplishment and understand that you deserve this. Not because you have to pay it forward or backward to justify your own benefits. She means that this is YOUR accomplishment, and accomplishing that for yourself is enough. You do not have to fix everybody. And you do not owe anyone for the benefits you have earned. They are YOURS!" Ann2
