I went shopping today for some new pants. My 16Ws were getting big. I'd tried on my mom's 14Ws, and they worked, so that's what I was intending to get. Well, once I got to the Liz Claiborne outlet, and started trying on clothes, I realized that the 14Ws were actually too big. So, I try on the 16 regulars. They WORK! But, they were too long. I asked the sales lady to help me, but apparently the store doesn't carry many short-length regular-size styles. There is a petites section, but the sizes only go up to 14. I was incredibly disappointed and prepared to go home empty-handed.

My mom then comes up to me and nags me into trying the 14P. Granted, the one I tried had a little elastic at the sides, but it was a 14. IT FIT! And the regular, no-elastic was only slightly too small. So, then she came back with a pair of 12Ps. You could have knocked me over with a feather when I got them on. THEY FIT, TOO! Better than the 14Ps did! Again, they had a little elastic at the sides, but I don't even remember when I last wore a size 12. Maybe 7th/8th grade?

Of course, we then lost that pair and couldn't find it again (I tried on probably 25-30 pairs of pants). Hell, even the sales lady couldn't find it. Apparently, that was the only pair of 12Ps with elastic in the sides that they had in the store. Figures. I wound up buying a couple of pairs of 14Ps that fit pretty well, but I wanted those 12Ps, damn it. :confused:

But, hey! I wore a size 12 today! :tt1:

I know what you mean about the apron. I can't wait until I can get my belly cut off, 'cause it does make clothes shopping hell. :tt1: I blame my mom. It's her wonderful genes that did this to me, damn it! :confused:

I hear ya i cant wait to get mine cut off either. it seems this first 50 pds came off SO Fast this last 50 or so is taking quite some time.

But i can wait , I THINK .

even the inches are coming off slowly it seems.

Tummy tuck is gonna be awesome. mine is from my PCOS .

Lucky us huh .

I hear you on the tummy Laurend. Darned thing is stopping me getting in the equivalent of a US size 6.

A BIG BIG congrats on fitting in the 12! Maybe next time you go back for more you'll be in a 10!

I hope so! My mom, who was with me at the time, was irritated because we couldn't find that pair of pants again. But like I told her, I don't plan on being in that size for long, anyway, so there isn't much of a reason to get irritated. I'm just thrilled to be back in regular clothes. :eek:

Wow you guys...way to go ont he NSV....I can't wait to walk in those prints

Congrats Lauren!! I am soooo happy for you! Congrats!! Keep up the awsome work!!
