I went clothes shopping today at a store (with the pandemic haven't done much of that). Not sure if it is the pandemic or my weight loss, but my experience today was SO different then in the past. I had a number of sales people approach me right off the bat. Friendly, offering to help. In the past, I would wander the same store on my own without anyone offering to help. I've seen others post about being treated differently after losing weight and while i'm not positive that's what this was, it's certainly something I'll watch for.

The NSV --- I took one of the sales people up on their offer to help and mentioned after losing weight I'm not really sure what size I am. She knew immediately what options to pull and I am in a size 28 jeans! That's a size 8, as in single digits!!! I am also wearing a Small in a number of tops. Holy $(@*. ?

Oh OK LOL I am new so I don't know the lingo yet.

You’re even smaller than you thought. I believe a 28 = size 6!

Congrats! I'm looking forward to experiencing the Shopping NSV. I'm still working my way through my old clothes, which are admittedly now huge. LOL I don't have one pair of jeans left to wear; they are all beyond ridiculously baggy.

I am holding out for a while longer.

Not real shopping, but I asked Stitch Fix to send me a size 12 pair of "goal jeans" and...GOAL!! They actually fit!! Woo hoo!!

Awesome job everyone!! I ordered 16's and was expecting them to be way too small. Almost cried when they fit perfectly! Skipped the 18s, hoping to skip 14's and not buy again till 12s.
