what a perfect day

[Janeywanttoloosealot]

well what a fantastic day i have had today. My dad took me shopping today as i really needed a coat as i am still going around in my size 36 and while its been okay all through the winter with the many layers of clothes underneath i have been wearing to keep warm, now we are having some milder weather it is hanging off me. Well went into m&s and they had a lovely black military style black mac and a blue similar style. The black one was a size 16 and the blue one was a size 18. Said to my dad those are to small i wonder if they have a size 20 or 22. No he said try these on, so i did and i could not beleive it the size 16 fitted perfect even the lady in the shop said how nice a fit it was and when i tried the size 18 on(i nearly fell over when she said this, only its never been said to me before). 'Oh no my love thats far to big for you your not a size 18', if only she knew.

I also bought a new top size 16 and tried it on when i came out of the changing room my dad had a tear in his eye and said you look bloody lovely and gave me a hug, it was such a perfect day. I know a size 16 is not really small but it is for me as the last time i remember being this small i was about 18.

I hope you all don't mind me sharing my perfect day with you all, but i feel really happy. Janey :gen144::banana dancer::banana dancer:

So happy for you Janey.

It's amazing how we still go for the larger stuff when we're out shopping. I wonder if our heads ever catch up with our bodies?

Congrats on the size 16 and the next size down will be just around the corner. x
