I needed pants in a bad way, so, I went to LB, their jeans are the only ones that fit me "right."  Now, let me set this up for you.. the last time I shopped there, was this past summer, when I bought their largest in-store size, 24, and had to SQUEEZE my hiney into them.  I should have been wearing a 26 or 28, but was too embarrassed to ask them to order some bigger clothes. 

Today.. I bought 3 pairs of size 18 pants!  EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!  I am very excited.  I'm hoping by summer I'll need 16s or even 14s!  We'll see!  I haven't been "average" (14) since 1996.  So close.

Thank you!!!!  And.. this last week.. I've been wearing my old 16s!  One of my size 18s I bought last month I never wore, they're capris, and it just didn't get warm enough to wear them.  And, foolish me, I already took the tags off!  

I can't believe I'm in my 16s now.  Yesterday was a hard day for me, I don't know why, but I had a lot of head hunger.  Not sure what is/was going on.  Today, so far, is better.  But that is very unsettling when that happens.
