My favorite store...
Haha, I know what you mean. I used to shop at Lane Bryant for everything and now I can't. Which is both awesome and a little overwhelming. It was easier to shop when there was only one potential store! Now I can shop in almost every store! (I think size 12 is about when all stores are available, and I'm super close.)

awww bittersweet!! now there's a whole new fashion world open to you.
I remember when I "gave up" a few months ago and just decided this is who I was, nothing was going to work, and I was just going to be fat. I bought a bunch of clothes at Torrid. for me, its not a good memory, so when I no longer fit in those clothes, it will be a happy day :)
congrats to you!!
I have become a Ross for Less junkie. I like cheap clothes (anything under $20 is a SCORE for me) at this point.
Yesterday I went shopping for something casual to wear to my company xmas party. What a pleasure it is to pour through the racks and not be limited by what fits, but what specifications you have in mind. For example, I wanted something with 3/4" sleeves to cover the batwings. No problem. Found something that was in soft pink with a pattern design. Pink used to be a color I would never wear. I didn't realize I bought something pin****il I was driving home. It just fit so well and I felt good in it.

I'm still waiting for the day that my underwear falls off. Right now they're a little bit baggy, but I can still wear my preop size. Ugh.
