So I was going through my little sister's room earlier looking for my hairbrush...and just out of curiosity I tried to fit into one of her pairs of size 9 shorts (right now I'm ranging from size 14 to 16)...and I got them all the way up...and buttoned and zipped them..it wasn't even that much of a struggle!
GRANTED, I was muffin topping all the way around, and they were cutting into my thighs so deep that if I had left them on, I'd probably have lost all circulation in my legs...lol....but still, they look so small when I hold them up...and I managed to get them on!
It's still going to be 20 or 30 lbs before I could wear them in public I think...but still, I GOT THEM ON! When I first started my journey, they wouldn't have gone past my knees...lol
