I know EXACTLY how you feel! I am in 16's from a 24/26.... I called my BF from the dressing room and cried telling her! This is a wonderful feeling, I haven't been a 16 in at least 10 years! YAY! Jennifer*

Melinda, Way to go girl!  I understand about how you feel about not being comfortable - but get used to them wearing them in the house, and once you are "good" doing that - run an errand or something in them.  That helps to get yourself used to looking at your new and changing body. Keep up the fabulous work! Oh....and only keep one pair of those "fat" clothes - it's good to have a reminder - but no need to keep them all to dwell on the past.  I have one shirt and one pair of jeans from my high weight - and lemme tell you - it's amazing to look at.  I can actually just about get BOTH legs into one of the legs of those jeans - how ridiculous!

Melinda,

That is FANTASTIC!!!!  It's the best feeling in the world!!!  I was busting out of a size 32 and now am wearing 16s, some 18s.  I love it.  Congratulations to you!!!  You're doing soooooooooooooo great.  Keep it up.

Karen

What a fantastic wow moment for you - congratulations on the size 16/18 - that is totally awesome! I can't imagine being in those 'teen' digits but hope to get there some day! I'm now in a 22 (sometimes a 20 depending on the pant) from a 32 and I know how wonderful that feels, so you must be walking on Cloud 9 right now! Congratulations on your awesome successes - and I love your new avitar - you look fantastic! Kathy

That is awesome MeLinda.  I'm so happy for you.  I'm not in the teen sizes yet either, but I'm looking forward to getting there.  Congrats!
