A Whole New World

Cute boutiques, trendy clothes, sexy shoes... when I was fat, none of this was a part of my life. A window shopping trip in downtown Greenville was never that much fun for me. I could look at the jewelry or other accessories, but none of the clothes were my size and even a lot of the jewelry was too small for my chunky wrists and neck.


This weekend, after a delicious meal at The Lazy Goat, we went for a stroll through town. My sister-in-law spotted a really cute top in the window of one of the stores and said she thought it would look cute on me. The store had lots of cute outfits and trendy accessories... the kind of place that "Fat Mindy" would never think to even enter. However, this time I decided to take a risk and go in.

Not only did I find a cute outfit, but I also found some matching accessories AND some sexy, hot shoes! I had SO much fun trying things on and picking things out. It was a whole new experience for me!


The BEST part of the whole experience, though? My sister-in-law, Sheila, being SO happy for me! I think she was more excited than me and even kept exclaiming, "Look at YOU--SHOPPING!" Yeah... look at ME! SHOPPING! It's a whole new world for me, for sure!
