    Default I almost cried

    I went to try on scrubs for my new job. They have to be special ordered but the store has samples to try on. The salesperson asked me what size I needed and I told her I don't know. I haven't tried on new scrubs since before the surgery. She said I look like an XL. I thought she was crazy, there was no way an XL would fit. I was a 4X at my heaviest and about a 3X before surgery. I went to the dressing room to try on these XL that I was convinced would be too small. Guess what? They fit! I almost cried tears of joy in the dressing room. 😊

    That is an awesome nsv!!!! You are doing so fabulous. Keep rocking your sleeve! I'm a crier and do every time I fit into clothes that I think are to small. Today is a perfect example...my family is doing Christmas in PJ's/onesies. I've never had cool PJ's because I was to short and round. So today I went shopping....so much more fun now btw! I picked up a medium and thought maybe I should try a small for giggles. The freaken thing fit!!!! Of course I think it was a men's small but I'll take it as a win!

    It's so awesome when we think stuff won't fit and it fits or even better is too big. I remember having to keep getting smaller sizes and thinking that they were surely sized wrong. Congrats on your NSV. Do not buy too many. Those will be getting big in no time. Before you know it you will be in a S!!! Or XS!
