More than "just a sweater"

VICTORY!! Today I officially purchased a sweater at a "normal" store.....and it wasn't the biggest size they carry!!! I also tried on a pair of pants that weren't as successful. 5-10 more pounds and I'm there. What was wierd though? I had no clue what size I was now....and I petrified to try anything on for fear that it wouldn't fit and I would be totally discouraged. But I survived, and got a cute sweater out of it!
