How do "skinny" people shop?

So i'm wearing a size XL now. About a size 18 in pants (depends on the brand). I am just overwhelmed by the choices, and get lost in the stores. Take for example Kohl's last night, i wanted to spend my Christmas gift card.

Before i had one small section of clothing to shop - the "plus" or "women's" section. It was a limited choice of clothing.

Now the section i can shop in is HUGE, takes up a huge section of the store. I literally walked around in it just in a daze at the choices. All kinds of different "brands" and "labels" to pick from. And you know what i ended up buying? 1 pair of pajamas and a set of sheets - yup sheets, cause i just couldn't get over all the other "stuff" to pick from in the "regular" section.

Overall i feel fantastic. My baby bump is gone and i'm noticing i actually have a waist and some shape to my body which is really nice :-)

I have lost about 20 lbs since giving birth. AMAZING!

I am breastfeeding and hoping that will help me continue a good momentum of weight loss. I'm going to be attempting to cut my carbs back significantly. I'm being super careful to get in over my 90 gms of protein a day so i stay on track there. I am also drinking a minimum of 75 oz of water per day plus other drinks so that i stay very hydrated.

Wouldn't change anything that's happened in the last 15 months for anything. I have lost 152 lbs and gained a beautiful daughter!
