On Friday, I was coming out of the restroom at work and caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror. I was thinking that the mirror was defective because I did not seem to be all there. So then I went along the counter looking and I really am smaller now.
My 16W jeans are getting a little loose, so I went to go get the next size smaller as a mini-goal. Come to find out that there is not a 14W in my brand. I had to go around the wall the look at the Misses section (which I have not been in since junior high). I discovered that section had 18 and 16 sizes without the W. I wasn't sure if 18=16W or what so I grabbed a pair each sized 18, 16, and 14 and went to try them on. Well 18 != 16W (it was too big) and the 16 and 16W were cut slightly differently. I ended up picking up a 16 and 14. The 14 is really tight, looks SO tiny to someone used to washing 20s and 22s, but is definitely in reach.

Yay me. 🙂

Fantastic,
I was sorting out some old clothes today, we're moving in a few weeks and I'm having a major clear out. I found my favourite jeans from a year ago and they looked so huuuuge! I have noticed recently that I can dry two pairs of my jeans in the dryer now in the same time it took to dry one pair a year ago - I've dropped from a 30 to a 16 which is a big difference.

Wow great news, Briezee... I purchased 2 new pairs of pants the other day in 20s... the 18s were still a bit too far out of reach. They were doable but not breathable, ifyaknowwhatimean. 🙂 I started out in a tight 22 so I guess things are still looking better slowly.

EXCELLENT! Nothing like moving out of the larger clothing section into the smaller size section. It really is a revelation. I'm excited for you!

Thanks be unto God for His wonderful gift: Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God is the object of our faith; the only faith that saves is faith in Him

Yesterday, I needed a pair of bicycling shorts (I wear the ones with chamois under bicycling tights) and only had my XLARGE that were clean. Well, it was uncomfortable as they were swimming on me, creased which causes discomfort and also allowed me to, ahem, get out of sorts and very disjointed!!!!
