new size

ok, went to a store in my local community that gives free clothes, was hard finding my size in something I would wear.. Im tall and got hips no matter what size... I found dresses, as they alst longer and my husband loves me in them... I am in a 18 now, but risked a 16 and 14.. I know I will eventually be there... so I was able to get the 16 on.. was snug..and I tempted fate and tried on the 14...Tight.. but got it on...holy crap..       I didnt know me.. I modeled them for my hubby when he came home from work.. he loved it.. he just couldnt stop smiling... although in the 14.. my belly roll hangy thingy pouch was very noticable.. but still.. SO I am not going to wear the 16 yet, not comfortable wear, 18 is my stop this month.. hoping by next month or so I will be in the 16 comfortably :)

That is awesome.  I am looking forward to the day I can go shopping for smaller sizes!!!

Yayyyy Tammy, love the pic of you and your squeeze for your avatar.  He is allllll smiles.  Congrats on the NSV.  Hugs

That is fantastic, Tammy!  You'll be in a 10 or 12 before you know it.  You were smart not to spend on clothing.  I bought clothes as I went.  My mom got a lot of shirts but the pants all are getting donated.  Time to go shopping again!

Thanks everyone, and yes Kathy, he has been smiling alot lately..lol..

I am looking forward to getting into the 14s by summer- not setting a sooner goal so as not to get disappointed since I am coming upon 6 months, an we all know it slows down for most after that...

Colleen, yes I learned so much from others... no wasting money on clothes I will not get to wear really...and at home.. I just lounge in a night gown...all day if I have too.. which is alot lately..less company comes.. heck..why not..lol...

the only real shopping I do is panties..new from store..but still learning which ones fit right..already bought a set that was not comfortable.. LOL..

venturing out to buy spanx soon... and or the cheaper versions I am reading about..
