Is it hard to believe?

I am still having a hard time believing I can wear a size 8 pants and med top. I still tend to pick up a size or two bigger and when I look at myself I can't see me being that small. Is anyone else going through this? Marcey 255/150/150

Hi Marcey, I totally agree with you. I went shopping for that black halter and those white shorts in my updated pictures last week. I picked up the shorts and they said a medium. Even though I can wear a size 6, I didn't think they would fit. But they fit perfect. In fact, I need to stop trying on larges. I always grab a medium and a large to take to the dressing room. I was in one rack and saw this size 2x halter top. I picked it up and thought you have to be kidding me, how in the heck did I ever wear this size. Back then to grab that size, it never seemed to be that big. Now it's looks like a tent when you hold it up to yourself. So I do know what your going through! Erin 310/156/151

I still take 2-3 sizes into a fitting room with me, and then have disbelief when the smallest size fits. The time when it really hits me is when I'm doing laundry! I wash clothes, throw them in the dryer, then when I take them out, I wonder who they'll fit, because it sure won't be me! I wonder if our minds will ever catch up with our bodies?

Yes Marcey my head is playing games also................my 11 yr old daughter bought panties for school after she got them home and opened them up they where hipsters which she does not like.........so i said let me try them on and the fit 16 in kids........i am wearing a size 8 also but i no i can wear some 6's.......my head is so playing games right now..........133lbs and it still says im fat!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol i guess i will have a catch up moment one day....................vickie r.

Hi Marcey, You are definitely not alone!!! I do all the same things the other ladies wrote of and then some--I take 3-4 sizes into the dressing room, hesitate to sit in small chairs or chairs that look like they won't hold me , I even made myself try on all my clothes (again) when I took them out of the dryer and was packing for a trip. I was so worried those little shorts weren't going to fit when I opened my suitcase (and where do I buy other clothes in my enormous size overseas?)...I am told it may be years until we let our brains catch up...so I just laugh about it and ask a really good friend to help out when I shop! Congratualtions on your success!!! -Laura 5'11, -115lbs, at goal Size 8 pants, M shirt (yay!)

Yea marcey I am also effected. My mind just won't catch up. I always knew I was a little slow. I started in 28 jeans and now can wear a 12. My family fussed at me because they are new and they are baggy. I never would try anything on and I still don't. I bring the stuff home and if I don't like it I take it back. I hope someday this old moster from my past will soon go away. Congrats to everyone jane 296/163/156 to have a normal bmi but I am happy at this wt.
