This morning when we were at the get together, DebM commented that my pants seemed kind of loose. I retorted with something about 'that can't be, they are a size 6.' After I took care of some errands today, I stopped at my local GW and gathered a bunch of slacks size 8, 6 and 4. The 8's are generally a bit  ... I found that some of the 6's fit and some were big, but I didn't really think I could wear a 4 ... OMG!!!!! 'jumping up and down', 'dancing in circles' ... I bought 3 pair of size 4's!!!!! I never, ever thought I'd be able to wear a 4.

Thanks Deb!!! You made my day!

Love,

Barb

It is amazing and still a little hard to comprehend ... Not only can I wear these, but my daughter who was wearing a size 13 last year was also able put 'em on ... I think that tickles me even more because I don't think that she'll end up the struggles I had and that just incredible!

Pam,

I never really thought I'd wear a single digit size, except in my wildest dreams ... My wildest dreams never included the number 4 or 6 unless there was a 1 in front of 'em. Sooooo, you might be like me and you just might surprise yourself.

Oh my Gosh, Barb!  I'm not surprised that you got into a 4 (there definitely was some room in your jeans).  But I am jumping up and down with you!  That is so exciting!  A 4!!! Wait, let me say it again, a little bit louder...A Size 4!!!  That is fantabulous!  I'm so happy that my comment encouraged you to try on the next size.  Congrats!

Thanks!!! I would say that I'm truly a size 4/6 ... meaning that I can wear a 4 or a 6 depending on who makes it. You know, when we started this journey, my dream size was an 8 ... and I didn't really think I'd make it there. I thought if I could get down to a 12/14 I'd be happy and to be honest, I was. Then I when I got down to a 10, I thought "I can hardly believe it!" I hadn't been a size 10 for more than a few months when I was a teenager. I never really thought I'd get to an 8 and I absolutely never dreamed of a 6, much less a 4!!! Can you believe how far we have come in such a relatively short period of time?! It's truly amazing, isn't it?

Keep up the good work dear! You are look pretty fantabulous yourself!

Hugs,

Barb
