Height: 5'2

Default Huge Nsv!!!

Since the beginning of February I've been trying to lose weight (officially for the ninety millionth time..lol). This is the first time I've achieved a substantial weight loss. I've went from a size 14 to a size 10. Onto my NSV.. today I was shopping with my cousin when I saw a cute jacket I wanted to try on. I found a matching camisole top and decided I couldn't try it on without trying on a pair of blue jeans (I was in shorts). I grabbed a size 10 and modeled the ensemble for my cousin. She took one look and said "I like it, but the pants are too big" I couldn't believe it but she was right. They were a little baggy but dare I try an 8? An 8?? I haven't been an 8 since junior high! So I decided to go for the gamble, picked up an 8 and guess what? It fit!! Not only did they fit but they did look much better than the 10's. I bought them..

Isn't that a great feeling? I'm always afraid of getting the smaller size since I don't want to depress myself. Glad your cousin was there to get you to try the smaller size. Keep up the good work!
