I had a freaky experience with shopping when I passed into normal sizing. I was at Stein Mart and tried on a few plus size clthes and realized they were all too big. I vetured over to the regular size area which compared to the plus area took up acres of the store. My world of choices overwhelmed me to the point of a bonified panic attack. Keep in mind I am not a panicky type person. As I gathered up clothes I realized I had arm fulls of choices. I walked over to the dressing room where they had a table and chairs. (for bored hubbies no doubt). Anyway, I layed all the clothes on the table and my heart was racing. I was about to bolt out when my cell phone rang. It was my best buddy and she asked what I was doing. After explaining my delema, she ordered me into the dressing room asnd said that this was the best reason ever to have a panic attack!! So I went in, tried on all those clothes and realized not only did I have choices of what fit, I could also be choosy at style and colors becuase I had so much to choose from

It has taken a while, but I am getting to the point where shopping is not too scary and actually fun...at least until the credit card bills come!!

You will love it too!!
Best to U!!
