Okay, it's official!!
I am a size 14!! I tried on a pair of size 14s a while back and they were stretchy and fit pretty okay, but no other size 14 in the store fit me (and believe me, I tried on quite a few). I didn't buy them because, well...I just didn't! 
So, today I go into the store and try on a size 14 capris - they fit! I was going to be outside all day and it's HOT today (usually only around 75-ish but today was over 90) so I bought the Capris. Well, I tried on a few more 14s and they fit too! Then I went to another store and tried on these ADORABLE Apple Bottom jeans - size 14 and yep - they FIT! My kids begged me to get them as they said they were so cute, but they were $65 and considering I'm getting my tummy done in less than 3 weeks, I just couldn't bring myself to pay that much for a pair of jeans that I may not fit into in a few weeks. It's so awesome to be saying that on the way DOWN instead of on the way UP! I decided that I could officially say I'm in a size 14 considering 5-6 pairs of size 14s fit me. My weight really hasn't changed that much in the last few months, but the sizes are still (SLOWLY) coming down.
I was just telling hubby today that after my tummy, I will be content with my weight and size. I will probably be about 185 or so after my tummy and in a size 12/14. That, for me, is a very good size and weight. I feel good at this weight and feel content with my size. I do not feel the need to lose any more weight. I would like my thighs to be a bit smaller, but if they don't get smaller, I really am okay with it. I think that's just a part of my body that isn't going to go away. A lot of it is skin, but there is still some fat there and I will be active and exercise and try to get them down but honestly and truly, I am okay if they don't.
Sigh...I can't believe I'm finally here. In a body that I can live with.
