    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!

              Thanks ladies! Of course the encouragement here on ADBB means more than a random lady in the store anyday.
