Help me with jean sizing please

What is an 18w?

Do sizes go

14

14w

16

16w and so forth?

My 18w's are too big on me so I was excited thinking I'm in a 16 now but it probably means I'm only in an 18 huh? I'm NOT shopping for jeans until I think I might be on the "normal side" or else I'd just go try stuff on. That's a sensitive subject- shopping for clothes has always left me disgusted and really disappointed in myself.
