NSV yea me
So I'm down 45 pounds and haven't bought clothes yet. Still wearing my 22/24. A friend of mine at work says. Really go buy something flattering. Well today I dug through one of those storage tubs. Pulled out a size 16 pair of jeans and they fit. I zipped them right up. I am so thrilled. I never thought I was a size 16. A long way to go still but I'm getting there.
