Just had to jump on to tell you! So I'm having some people over for a casual dinner tonight and I have absolutely zero to wear. I have been wearing the same 2 pairs of size 20 pants for quite a long time now and while they have definitely gotten looser and looser, I assumed I had just plum wore them out and that I am still a size 20.  I thought a shopping trip was in order...

But today is so cold that I wondered if maybe I could find something wearable if I scrounged around hard enough in the basement.  I came across a box of old pants - clean and nicely folded.  I was disappointed to read the label, thinking they would NEVER fit me yet.  But I cautiously slipped one leg in and then the other.  They made it up easily past my knees, so I held my breath and pulled higher...... then over my thighs and butt.... then,.... holy cow, could it be???? They buttoned right up - easy as pie.  I couldn't believe it!!!   SIZE 16, BABEEE!   Woo Hoo!  Very exciting moment for me!  So now I have gone down from 26/28 down to 16!!!!!!!   You gotta remember... I'm 5'9" tall, so I will be at my old thin size in only 3 more sizes Goal:  size 12 or 10   Weeee.  It's a happy day!

how exciting, shopping and not spending any money.  Plus, 16 is great.  I was thrilled everytime I could get into the next size down.  We need those Woo Hoo times to keep us strong.
