Oct 7 will mark 5 months. I ordered some jeans, because I still cant quite set my mind to being able to buy them in the store. Just for fun, I ordered a size 16. Now in april I was wearing 26, and really needed to be in 28 for comfort but just wouldn't go there. So I pulled out the 16's, thinking no chance, it is wrong time of month and I just can't be there.
Well they zipped! Not going to be comfortable to sit in for long periods just yet, but still.... and they were classis 16, not 16w or plus size classification. I wore sz 16 15 years ago before I was prego witn #1, and after he was born once or twice before the got too uncomfortable. It is amazing how good it feels to have a second chance at life I had thought was pretty well over. :)

Nurse2067 I doubt I will get to 12. I had a breif timere marriage that I could, but I have had kids and I will have the extra sag left over. But I am ok with that. I am not really about the size as I am just about being able to participate in life again.
You one thing I am having trouble with? At sz 26 I had to always order online. Not many place carried that size and then I need the longs as well. Average left me high waters in a big way. Well now that I at a size that I could find, I am finding it hard to break out of online ordering and actually shopping in store. I still just move over the pants when I shop instead of actually looking. I am going to have to make a consious effort to go out and actually shop for a pair of jeans. I might even get brave enough to try on in the fitting room again. Lol. The head games go way beyond food.
once you do finally get to the stores for
some shopping, you won't want to stop!
Its an awesome feeling walking PAST
the plus size section, looking for your
new size! FUN FUN FUN!
