Ok so today I went shopping because my size 12 jeans were getting fairly loose. I went to my favorite place to buy jeans since having WLS. Lucky Brand Jeans.

I grab a pair of sweet and straight jeans in a size 10 and I am grinning from ear to ear because I am confident they are going to fit and I love that feeling. I have not fit into jeans this small since I was a teenager.

I put them on and I am right! They fit fantastic! I come out of the dressing room and model for hubby who promptly says, those look a little big. Maybe you should think about a smaller size.

I the immediately say "no way!" An 8 is not going to fit me. I am honestly not sure if I have ever worn a size that small. I decide to encourage him and prove there is no way I will get them up.

I grab an 8 and head back into the dressing room. I look at this tiny pair of jeans and go, here goes nothing. They fit perfectly! I could hardly believe my eyes.

Then the sales clerk tells me that they are buy one get one half off but she says the darker dyes seem to be more forgiving so she gives me an 8 and a 6 to try on. I laughed but thought well just see how far off you are.

Well, I put the 6 on, buttoned them up and stood there in shock. Now, I didn't buy the 6 because although I could wear them, I do like my jeans to be comfortable and have a little room.

So when I started this journey I wore 24 jeans and 26/28 tops. I am now in a size 8 and a medium or large top. Sometimes I have to get the large because I have a lot of loose skin.

I cannot believe where I am today! For me, clothes shopping is when I can really see the thinner me.

You are the incredible shrinking woman. Congrats!

So, did you dance around the store, singing "I'm a 6, I'm a 6"? Cause you totally should have.

Go ahead, dance around the kitchen. You're a 6!

Way to go!!!!!!

Awesome!

@@Djmohr,

I am so jealous! Well done!! I think I am still a 10? Not sure as I haven't shopped for a while. I'd love to have an experience like yours..........did I say I am so jealous! Well deserved NSV!

You're my inspiration! I just got excited as if this was my own personal NSV!!! I'm so happy for you!

I have to say I was dancing a lot but mostly in shock. The clerk that works there was so sweet and when she found out I had lost 140lbs, she was excited for me.

She was on the heavy side herself and had mentioned that she has been yo yo dieting.

I said "PICS!!!"

Congrats!!! Such a good feeling when those pants zip all the way up!!! ????????????????????????????????????????????????
