NSV! I am a legitimate size 12!!!
Congrats!! I didn't believe I was in a 12 myself at first. I bought a pair of Old Navy jeans and my though was, 'Old Navy always runs big'...but then I started buying other pants that were size 12 and they fit too so I realized it was legit. Now, suddenly in the past few days, all my 14s are WAY too big.
And I'm with you, I still see myself as really big. People around me call me tiny and I scoff at them. I am far from tiny.
