NSV in department store!
I was walking around the coat section in the store and saw a cute winter coat with a belted waist. I went to try it on and as I was taking it off the hanger, 3 older women noticed me. They walked (and wheeled, one was pregnant in a wheelchair) over to me told me they were looking at it before and thought it was cute and wanted to know if they could see how it looked on me. After I put it on, one of the women (the one jacket shopping) said to another, "yeah well that's how it looks on a skinny person, but that wouldn't look the same on me!"...and she tried another one on herself. Though she did not even appear overweight and actually fit into a medium, as I was wearing. Why I usually don't like being referred to as "skinny" by friends and family (I think of sick people!), I wanted to give her a big hug :lol: I know I am doing well but I love hearing it from people I don't even know sometimes! It's comments like those that make me think I see myself bigger than I actually am sometimes. Not that I see myself as "big", but sometimes I just feel like a smaller version of me 25lbs ago, but still looking fat....just a smaller fat...even though my measurements are dropping and I'm wearing small sizes. I don't know, do you know what I mean?
