Please don't Supersize me or my clothes..

One added bonus to loosing weights is being able to buy clothes from regular stores.. no more Lane Bryant and Fashion Bug. I can now go to normal people stores AND I do not have to shop in the Plus section.. I honestly have no idea how long I have been shopping in this section. I say I was shopping there when I was in college.. Probably when my parents were still buying my clothes.. I realized I can go into any store and buy clothes and not the biggest size they have either.. Imagine the options I have. I no longer have to wear .. waffle type stretch shirts. pants with an elastic waste or my favorite clothes with birdhouses or teacher looking clothes. Cause all plus size people apparently love these two styles.. And I no longer have to pay more to have these clothes.. I can now buy clothes on sale.. off the clearance rack .. NO more thinking I need some new running shorts.. Go to the store and finding they do not carry any plus size workout clothes which is another things I find ironic.. They do not make plus size work out clothes. I one time told a sales associate maybe if they did the person may not be plus size. Anyway.. I am like a kid in a candy store. A whole new world has been opened up to me. I can shop at any store. Stores I would walk by call me .. I have to go in and try stuff on .. just because it fits. Then I have to say to Phil .. can you believe this fits? Do you think it is mismarked? Or Phils favorite.. I say to him from the dressing room oh my goodness this size ___ is falling off me. Can you get me a smaller size.. I can remember a time not so long ago I had almost outgrown the plus size stores and thinking... then were will I shop.. And Now look at my options.. It is a whole new world. I'm exploring one smaller leg at a time.
