Thanks, everyone. I still want to lose 14lbs so who knows what size I'll be then. After having my son, my body has changed SO much. I no longer have a tiny waist etc.
Great job! I actually did the exact same thing a few days ago - wanted a new pair of pants, decided to go for the 8, and managed to squeeeeze in. It's a really good feeling.
Anytime I can squeeze into the next size down, even with raging muffin top, I won't put the bigger size back on (unless I'm in major (not average) pain! I'm like a dog with a steak... no way can they be taken away from me!
