#6 NSV #NewMe23 Sometime between Thanksgiving & Christmas I was out shopping with my daughter. It’s always been such a negative experience for me to go shopping for clothes and I’ve avoided it at all costs, find 1 style, buy all the colors, etc… But this day I found an adorable jacket (shacket) that I loved. I tried on a large and it was huge. Next was the medium, nope. Small? No way that’s gonna fit…but yep it fit well! On the way back to the car I said to my daughter, “That is crazy. What are all those tiny people supposed to buy?” and my daughter looked at me and said, “Mom, you just need to accept that YOU are one of those tiny people now!” I almost cried. I was overweight my whole life and I’ve pretty much hated every picture I’ve ever had taken since I was a toddler (cuz chubby is cute at that age,) I still don’t look in the mirror and always like what I see but I’m working on it…
