This is no big deal to most people I know, so you probably won't really understand even if you kind of think you do. The feeling of walking into a regular clothing store and buying a dress/shirt/pair of pants/belt that fits well today is one for which I don't have words. It fits now. Not in a few weeks when you've lost a little more. Not if you go home and get the right bra. Not if you suck in or wear a jacket. But right now. And it's not a specialty store or a plus-size department, but just a regular, old store. A store where your friends shop. It makes you feel normal for the first time in a long time. This journey has been full of huge ups and major downs (springtime slump anyone???). But it's really the simple things that make it worth it.
