Does Size Matter?
Seriously. I don't know how much I lost before I went down a size. I was so confused!! When I was MO my clothes would fit forever, but now I'm constantly needing new clothes for work that fit well because if I lose between 5-10 pounds which happens ALL THE TIME right now I'm in a new size. I'm looking forward to a stable weight for a stable size.
Best thing to do is buy a few things and wear the hell out of them! It is wierdly annoying to be complaining of my pants falling off. I mean seriously? This is my problem now? Yeah, it is and frnakly it sucks ass as much as not finding anything stylish or flattering when I was MO.
Stable weight is great - but the unpredicable sizing doesn't go away. It is really really important NOT to get hung up on a size (I must be a size 4 or else I've failed) because it is completely random! Iwant to see some pics of you in some of these hottie outfits!
I buy cheap clothes and wear them as long as possible right now! Especially outside of work because I don't care as much if my clothes are baggy but at work I try to look as put together as I can because of my department looking all spiffy all the time lol. But mainly it's seasonal - like I wore sweaters that were baggy because I wasn't buying new sweaters when I knew I wouldn't get much wear out of them. But with the warmer weather coming, I'm going to have to buy new shirts as I don't have anything in a Large, since I've never been in that size before! But I am definitely learning to not care about sizes for sure since they're different so many different places.
I'll work on taking a pic :)
My wife is 5'3" and 132 pounds. Just the other day, I picked her up a couple of tank tops in Small, and they were swimming on her.

I call "click-bait" on the "Does Size Matter?" subject.
I thought we were going somewhere else with this.
That said, I hover around 138 lbs. 5' 6" and am almost always a 4. Sometimes vanity sized to a 2.
