I can offically say good bye to the 20's, I can't believe it!  Yesterday I even wore a shirt that was a size 14!!!!!   I've been mainly wearing size 18 pants and some 16s but the 20's still fit so was wearing them so I wouldn't have to buy new clothes.   Well today I wore my size 20 capri's and I was walking to a meeting and my pants nearly fell off.  SO  I'm offically retiring all my clothes in the 20's or higher.   This is quite a journey having started out less than 7 months ago in a tight size 28.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

I started out in 32's, and am in 16's and 18's now.  The interesting thing I've found is - the lower I go in sizes, the less consistant the sizing seems to be!  Maybe it's in my  head - because I can dare to wear things a bit snugger now, but I'll take it! 

WAY TO GET OUT OF THOSE 20'S!!!    Bring 'em to Swapkins in October - I know I was THRILLED to find so many jeans and things in 20's and 22's last fall, there's GOT to be someone here who will be just as thrilled THIS fall!  As a matter of fact, I can think of a person or two who WILL be in 20's by October!!! 

AHEM....

  That's fantastic....no 20s!  I have one item that is a size 22/24 that I am PRAYING will fit someday (I doubt I will get that low - but right now I doubt that I will get below 400lb. too). 

Enjoy your new clothes - the new sizes.  Please wear things that will not fall off of you - we only want to hear about WOW moments - not the most embarassing moment ever!

Hon, you WILL get there.  It's really difficult to wrap your mind around, having never been a "normal" size, as I never had.  But those sizes WILL drop, and you WILL find the courage to TRY on smaller sizes, and you'll cry in the changing room when you discover THEY FIT!!! 

Most of us further out have been there - and we'll CELEBRATE with you when YOUR day comes!!
