I'm a pear....down there!!

I haven't weighed since my post the other day.  I am waiting for T.O.M. to pass because it makes me feel so blah, bloated and FAT!  Instead of getting discouraged by a 2-3 pound water weight gain, I just don't weigh for a week.  The fun part about that is I "should" see a nice little weight loss on the scale next week.  I bet I see "one-derland"

I am back home from my beach trip.  Came home early so I could spend the weekend at the lake with my family.  My brother and his family are in town and I cannot wait to see all of them tomorrow. 

So, since I do not have any exciting weight news to share tonight I will tell you all this......

While shopping at the outlet stores yesterday at the beach, I was in the big girl size section (as usual). The lady in the store said, "Ma'am, that is the plus size section. Your sizes are on the other side of the store. You don't need to be in that section". This will certainly be the MOST fabulous words I have ever heard. 

Any other life long fluffy friends totally understand my sense of pride hearing those words in that store.  It is a first EVER for me.  I have always been embarassed to even shop in the junior or missy size sections of stores. Always feel like the skinny bitches are looking at me like I am a plague in their perfect little world.  There are stores like White House/Black Market, Ann Taylor, J Crew, Banana Republic etc etc that I have never even walked in.  I know they don't have big girl sizes.  It wasn't even that I didn't think they had the sizes.  I didn't want to imagine what the sales clerks would think if I walked in.  I will say that one thing I am REALLY REALLY looking forward to is not being stuck shopping in the same stores over and over because they have cute clothes....in big girls sizes.  Fluffy friends, we all shop in the same stores.  I gurantee you I can name them now:  Old Navy, Lane Bryant, Target, Walmart, Ross, JcPenney, Sears, Belk, Cato etc etc.   I WILL own one boutique dress next summer.  Promise you this!!

Even though I gained a lot of weight over the years, I was still in misses sizes in my shirts.  Could easily wear a size XL.  Sometimes a large.  My bottom half....my "honkey tonk badonkadonk" has ALWAYS been bigger than my top half.  My bottom half is a plus size.  Still out of proportion just at an unhealthy level. Regardless,  I am a pear.  I am booty blessed!! Got them birthing hips. I think even when I hit the gym hard and really start seeing the big loss, I will be a beautiful, curvy,  bootylicious, pear down there.
