Surprising Dress Experiment

So, I have been wondering what size I am in now. I haven't been able to go shopping because of the whole knee replacement business. I suddenly remembered that in my closet there is a dress that belonged to my daughter. It is an 18 and all the clothes I have been wearing are 26/28 (granted they are baggy as can be). So, I experimented and tried the dress on (it is a long formal dress). I got it on!!! I zipped it up!!!! Shocking - now, it is too tight to actually wear anywhere but - I got it on!!! I zipped it up!!!!!! An 18!!!! Life is good!:tongue:

Congratulations to you! Isn't that wonderful? It feels so great, my post was about the same as yours tonight, and I did not even see your post first! This is the part of the experience that makes it real to us as we move forward! It only gets better!

Yes, I was so excited that I ordered a bunch of Tshirts for the summer. (I still don't want to spend a lot on clothes - I figure the BIG shopping will be Next summer). I've been hesitating but felt confident now to order 1X's (figured tshirts will shrink a bit - couldn't quite make myself order an XL) rather than the 3X's I've worn in the past. So exciting!!!!!!

Don't you just love this!!! Yes, going down a size each and every one has made such a big difference for me too. Just getting into a size I did not think I was, was a shocker a huge step in the best direction. I wore a dress around the house for an afternoon until my husband got home from work because I could not believe my size had change that much. And that I could fit into it. He just took me out to dinner and we had a date it was so cool. I am so excited for you. Best wishes imaluckydog

That's so cute! I should have worn the dress for my husband too but he probably would have thought I had lost my mind!
