Guest guest Posted June 19, 2005 Report Share Posted June 19, 2005 I gotta share. I still have body image issues big time. However, I am pushing 50 years old and my I am beginning to believe this is as good as it's gonna get for me as far as the weight loss goes. Well yesterday, I was shopping. I went into Express and tried on clothes. I wear size 6 in a couple of pairs of slacks, albeit with waistband spillover but the 8's fit best. Okay...I am not a truck anymore. Even if I have been wearing generous cut size 6 jeans, a size 8 is NOT a plus size. Then I went into BEBE. It has been my *fantasy* to wear a Black BEBE rhinestone T shirt. For me that would mean I am really a *normal* size person. But I felt BEBE was a *skinny* girl store and I am NOT a skinny girl. Well, I wandered into BEBE yesterday. I pretended I was shopping for someone in case I was *discovered* in enemy territory. Then I saw *MY* jeans--gold beaded and embroidered jeans. OMG! To die for. I grabbed a 6 and and an 8 and went to *sneak* into the dressing room with a BEBE T shirt. Then I was stopped by a 22 year old sales girl with a 22 inch waist and 32 hips. Can I help you? she asked. OMG!!! It was okay for me to be there! The best part? The jeans fit (the non stretch size 8 looked best) and so did the T-Shirt. I wanted to cry. I left the dressing room and the sales girl asked me how I did. She also asked if I was buying the black BEBE shirt to wear with those jeans. I nodded. She said a white top would be gorgeous especially with my olive complexion. I looked around. She was talking to Me?? A 22 year old was giving me fashion advice in a *SKINNY* girl clothing store. Wow! I threw my credit card at her before I was *found out*!!! Me in BEBE??? WTF? I also bought the silver hoop earrings with crystal stones to finish the look. I wore my new outfit out last night and to have youngsters compliment me on my clothes is mindboggling, especially for a morbidly obese woman who used to walk around in black looking like a Quaker! BTW, Good thing I handed the clerk my credit card before I regained my senses. Those jeans were $198! EEKS! Oh well, it's all good. I will skip my $200 psych appointment this week. Life is about balance, right??? Those jeans gave me peace of mind. Money can't buy happiness. But happiness can buy peace of mind! I am a believer, I am really NOT a fat woman anymore!
