Shopping wherever I want

One of the things that I was looking forward to along my weight loss journey was being able to shop wherever I wanted to shop for clothes--no size restriction, no choice limitation. I've begun to taste this over the last couple of months, but this last week, I've been feeling it particularly. This afternoon I was downtown to pick up my birthday dress (a size 14--I don't remember when last I wore this size), and found myself standing in Westlake Center just looking around at all the places I could suddenly shop for clothes. I felt like the richest woman on the planet. I didn't have to shop at any of these places, but having the option felt like opulence. Like a luxury I could never afford--that I wasn't allowed to have.

It's really something.
