Default Reassurance in an unlikely place

So I went into a lingerie store today for an upcoming weekend, and asked the clerk if they carried plus sizes. Lingerie is about as bad as swimsuit shopping as far as feeling like a sausage in my opinion. And that's when she said the best words I've heard in awhile, "We do carry plus sizes, but you look like you'd do just fine in our regular sizes."

Thank you Atkins WOL, for totally making my day!

Nice one! Isn't it great when someone really puts a smile on our faces with a remark like that... and I just know she wasn't "just saying that".
Good for you... your hard work is paying off!!!

Wow! Just reading this post- you should feel so proud of yourself! Your comment about feeling like a sausage made me laugh! That is EXACTLY how I feel! And what a treat! New lingerie that you DON'T feel like a sausage in!
