Default A Funny Moment

My husband and I have a vacation planned to take the kids to the beach for a week when they are out of school for Spring Break. Well, all of my bathing suits are huge on me now, so I decided that I of course needed a new one. So, I went onto Chadwick's website and found the prettiest bathing suit. I loved it. I went to order it and noticed that particular bathing suit only came in "Misses" sizes. Discouraged, I closed off the website.

Later that night at the ballpark at my daughter's softball game (which we won!!!), I was telling a friend of mine about the bathing suit and how disappointed I was that they only had that particular bathing suit in "Misses" sizes. She just looked at me and said, "what size do you think you wear?" She said, "Christy, you don't wear 'women's plus sizes anymore'". I grinned and said, "Oh yeah, you're right."

I have worn the "Women's" sizes for so long that it didn't even dawn on me that "Misses" sizes is what I needed. I thought it was kinda funny.

And, no, I still didn't get to order the bathing suit. When I went back online to order it, it was on backorder until June. Must be pretty popular.

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

That is funny...I can totally see myself doing that after I lose weight. I have never been able to buy misses, so it will be a shocker when I can!

Laughing at you, Kathy. The mental part of this journey is just as big a part as the rest of it.

Thanks Kitty. This week has been kinda rough for me, so I needed a WOW, even though it meant I was having to laugh at myself.
