Clothes sizes and head games. :(

I thought I would have been in smaller sized pants by now. I have gone from a 2X top to an 1X, and they are very comfortable. I was wearing size 22 jeans and they were really really tight. They look like a skirt now, because I have so much room in them. I don't have any 20's for some odd reason. (I think I remember tearing the seams out of them) I have 18's and they fit like a sausage casing. Sigh The thing is I feel really good about my weight loss, until I try on clothes, then I get that same stuffed size 22 feeling. I wonder how many more lbs. it will take to really feel like I'm loosing? Debbie -31

Me too! I think I'm losing the weight from the top down. Now smaller tops fit until they hit the hip area and then they are snug. I decided that I'm only going to try clothes on every 6 weeks. I think I'll just wear them big until I hit goal and then go buy an incredible new wardrobe. You are not alone. Eileen

I've had to buy smaller pants and tops, and I still didn't think I'd lost much weight, until I saw the pictures that were taken the night before I went to surgery. NOW, it makes sense that people are commenting on how much weight I've lost, and how different I look. The numbers on the tags didn't mean much to me until I saw those pics.
