Guess what I'm wearing???

(cross-posted from the California board, I just had to share it with my July peeps...because I think you'd understand too!) Oh my God, you won't believe what I'm wearing. Tonight I came home in a hurry and had to change clothes then leave. The size 22 jeans that I was so excited about wearing again because they were my "skinny jeans" are now so loose around my hips that I can't keep the zipper up. There's not enough of me to fill the pants and the zipper falls down! So in my rush I picked up a pair of jeans that were given to me before surgery from a friend. She gave me three bags of clothes in sizes 14-20. These clothes have been a life saver to me. I'm wearing almost all of the tops. Now I realize that I need to start trying on the pants because... ....in my rush to get out the door I put on a size 18 pair of jeans and they FIT PERFECTLY. I know it might sound weird because 18 is still a "plus" size, but I have never, ever ever worn anything smaller than a 20 in pants......ever. The other day at Old Navy I tried on a pair of 18 dress slacks and they were huge, silly me thought the pants were just labelled wrong. I'm wearing these jeans to bed. Good night

That is so great. You will be out of all of those clothes (14-20's) before you know it. CONGRATULATIONS on your successes so far. HUGS Susan

That is awesome Monica. Nothing feels better than loose pants that use to be tight. Thanks for sharing. Heidi

Way to go Monica! Isn't it funny that now we're celebrating our pants falling off Keep up the great work Charity

Monica, I know the feeling! I was in a 26 pants when I started and wearing 18's now and REAL JEANS I call them! I always wore elastic waist jeans as they were more comfortable, didnt think I'd ever be wearing zip and button/snap jeans again and even a 18! And they are very comfortable, maybe more so then the elastic ones were. CONGRATULATIONS!! Its a GREAT feeling!! I hope to go the nex size down with you!
