OK, so its time to get Christmas clothes for our annual managers party that I help another
manager put on for the southern Illinois managers. I have lost enough weight that I have no real
dress clothes to wear and I really have nothing in a Christmas motif. DH says so what if you
only wear it this year, you should get something... so... Nothing close to what I want at
target, one red dress at Burlington but is just a red dress nothing special, OK then onward to
dressbarn for women, nice clothes, mid-range clothes that hold up pretty well, we go in, DH sees
a red outfit he thinks will do and pulls jacket off hanger to let me try it on, first nsv, it is
a 14/16 I am feeling great about that as the last thing I bought in this store was either a 22
or 24... Just then saleswoman walks up and after the initial pleasantries, says that just won't
do, not at all... looks DH and says, see how the arms are hanging, and see how it is here on her
back, DH says I see your point, Then she says to me, You need to go to the other side of the
store,, I stand there thinking but I am on the "woman's side" now where do I go, I look at DH
and say is this a bad thing, and bless his heart he says, only if you don't want to buy a misses
14/16!!! I didn't buy the very nice outfit we looked at in a size 14 misses for the top and 16
miss for the skirt but it was because I did not want to buy a one wear outfit for over eighty
dollars... then...

We end up buying me a size medium button up shirt at Gordmans with a Christmas motif and a size 14
skirt, that while a bit too snug will be wearable for quite a while... Two more NSVs...

Then to Wally world to finish off with a size 8/10 vest with those snowmen and sparkly things...
NSV there as well

The party was great and my friend I helped to arrange the party said I looked about the best she
has ever seen me, I was very pleased with the clothes, DH's taste and support, the sizes, and the
compliments I got... This is already too long or I would tell you I hosted a major part of the
party and ate the buffet and was well under my points and had all I wanted, but I will not do that
as it might appear I am bragging,

Lee,

What a wonderful story. I love the part where you were sent packing from the women's section. That
is great. I'm glad you got some new duds and people noticed.

First, you've earned some bragging rights. Second, I insist on hearing you brag. Third, how
absolutely lovely to have a bit of difficulty finding things small enough.

Glad you're looking forward to the holidays Lee. That's so nice. I had a time in my life when I
didn't look forward to Christmas, but now that we have Nicholas it's all different. This year should
be fun, he's almost three and he's getting excited about the gift he asked Ho Ho to bring him.

Great job w/those NSV's!

I think the disconnect was in fact how could be there nothing for me small enough, weird kinda
expected to hear twilight music or something, and since you asked for it...

at the party, a Shakey's Pizza buffet, where they make pizza to order for the bar and have all
manner of everything good.. I had three huge plates full of food, BUT I still left the party with I
think 17 or so flex points and since it was the last day of my week I could have gone crazy, but
instead I had a load of zero and one point stuff and only one fried chicken leg and one piece of
vegetarian pizza, and the part I am proudest of... I was out of there and having hot tea with
friends at a bar and grill later before I realized I never even got my often saved for and
anticipated cinnamon roll, about seven points and a treat as I am allergic to cinnamon so rarely
feel I can tolerate this delicacy, and usually if we eat in there I want to cry when I feel I must
pass it up because of my tolerance levels that day, man is that ever cool,

and on a side note, I was the host for the door prize part of the party, I have done and get through
public speaking things but usually hurl before and after from nerves, my friend didn't tell me
before she wanted to do it so no pre hurling and again, only after I was in the grill on my second
cup of tea... I realized I was shaky but not hurky, just too cool, Lee, betting PR had wished she
had kept quiet

OK, so its time to get Christmas clothes for our annual managers party that I help another
manager put on for the southern Illinois managers. I have lost enough weight that I have no real
dress clothes to wear and I really have nothing in a Christmas motif. DH says so what if you only
wear it this year, you should get something... so... Nothing close to what I want at target, one
red dress at Burlington but is just a red dress nothing special, OK then onward to dressbarn for
women, nice clothes, mid-range clothes that hold up pretty well, we go in, DH sees a red outfit
he thinks will do and pulls jacket off hanger to let me try it on, first nsv, it is a 14/16 I am
feeling great about that as the last thing I bought in this store was either a 22 or 24... Just
then saleswoman walks up and after the initial pleasantries, says that just won't do, not at

Glad you're looking forward to the holidays Lee. That's so nice. I had a time in my life when I
didn't look forward to Christmas, but now that we have Nicholas it's all different. This year
should be fun, he's almost three and he's getting excited about the gift he asked Ho Ho to
bring him.
