I have a formal dance with alot of young singles from my church in two weeks and I went into DEB the other day just to try on dresses with my sister. I remember trying on some a few years ago and fitting snuggly into an 18. it looked good. that was even before I hit my highest weight (probably 30 lbs less than it actually)
ANYWAY I tried on a size 16 dress and it zipped up with little effort exept the last inch or two!!! (what can I say? I never asked for a giant chest...lol)
it made my day and helped me realize Im actually getting smaller and its not just the number on the scale dropping. I havent been a 16 since about 10th grade.
