Recently I bought some jeggings in size XS. At first I was OK with the way they fit, but after wearing them for a few hours, I found myself constantly hiking them up from my hips to my waist. Then I spent hours of negative thinking about how annoying it was to buying those jeggings but not be able to keep them on my body before I suddenly thought, "Jean! These are SIZE EXTRA SMALL! It's annoying that they don't fit well, but it's fabulous that extra small is too big on you! EXTRA SMALL, Jean Do you not get it?"

Over and over I'm reminded that the mental/emotional weight loss journey takes a lot longer than the physical one. I'm annoyed that XS jeggings fit too loosely, then I'm grateful that I can wear XS jeggings thanks to WLS. One day I look at myself in the mirror and all I can see is the pudge in my midsection. The next day I try on XS jeggings and think,"Hey, girl! You're looking so fine!"

It makes my formerly-blonde (now silver) head spin at times. It can be very disconcerting, but man, oh man is it worth all that work!

I'll never get to a xs, but id love to get to a medium. Im a large now, happy and healthy, but would still love to lose 20 more lbs. Happy for you though ! Merry Christmas !
