Talking I fit into a size WHAT?! :)
ok, I just had to share this with everyone!!!! I went shopping this weekend for work clothes since the ones I am wearing are literally falling off of me. I needed to find a suit to wear to a conference next month. Last time I bought a suit, I wore a size 22, and it was kinda tight. This weekend I bought... a size 14/16 jacket and a size 16 pants!!!!!! I couldn't believe I had to ask for a smaller size!! The jacket fits beautifully. The pants are a bit tight, but by the time the conference rolls around in 5-6 weeks, they will be perfect. I am so stunned.

Now what's weird is that I can barely fit into my size 18 jeans, yet in dress pants I could get into a 16. But oh well - I'll take it!!! YAY!

Isn't that great? I love it when I can fit into a smaller size! I just bought some dresses not long ago that were size 18. I didn't like how they fit, just a little too snug, but like you, I know that by the time I need to wear them they'll fit fine.

I've got some size 16s from the last time I was down (a bit smaller than I am now). Can't wait until they fit again.
