I went tonight to pick up a new suit for my step-daughters wedding on Saturday. The buying process was so different from my last experience. The salesman suggested a tailored cut suit instead of traditional. When he suggested that, I thought are you insane, who wants to see me in a suit hugging my curves? Really all it meant was that my shoulders were significantly wider than my waist which I never really knew. Everything I bought, fit me off the rack- Pants, jacket, shirt. Last time, I had to alter the shoulders and the waist of the pants. Practically buying separates instead of a matching suit.
The salesman was right, the suit fit perfectly and now I cannot wait until Saturday when everyone will get to see the newer me. This one purchase alone has changed the way I view myself and it feels GREAT! Having this surgery has been a lifesaver in many ways. I hope that everyone can feel this joy. It is a simple non-scale victory I never thought I would experience that I just wanted to share.
