At nearly 3 years out, I continue to be wowed by my DS! 

I alway**** Goodwill for clothes and other items I might need on 50% off Saturdays, and I bought 3 new pairs of jeans yesterday ($10.56), in my usual 16P (petite).   I bought a pair of winter white Bill Blass jeans, which I thought was in my usual size.  I never try on anymore, I just go to my size and eyeball it for fit.

I started trying on my  jeans at home this morning, with tags still attached, and noticed the white pair was tagged *14*.

Panic set in...until I put them on.  They're closer fitting than my 16's are, but not obscenely so!  I didn't have to struggle to pull them up, or zip and button them! 

Size 14P might be plus-size to a lot of people, but for me, it's a big deal - I have gone from tight 30-32 Women's Plus cotton knit pants, couldn't even wear a pair of jeans...to size 14 Petite jeans!

If the loose skin on my legs was gone...I could probably wear a 10 or 12!

I thank GOD for making the DS possible for me!  It has truly changed not only my size but my LIFE!

Way to go!!!1 I can completely understand the "big deal thing"  I've been too big to even shop at goodwill, for decades.  I've recently started shopping there again and LOVE finding clothes that ACTUALLY FIT!!!!!  I'm not nearly as small as you are..... (size 14  (175) is my goal).   The last time I saw size 14 was in High school and dieted to that size (177lbs.) for senior pictures.  But hopefully someday.  I just love being able to wear a pair of jeans!
