I just bought a pair of Lerner jeans in a 16 petite.. and since I had been wearing 22s.. and recently an 18 I thought they'd be good.. they actually feel a little loose on me and I figured, what the heck -- I'll go and order the 14s! I can't wait for them to come in because I know they may be a tad too tight (maybe not... know how jeans are after you have worn them all day and they get stretched out?)

For the first time in a long, long time.. I am starting to visualize myself 'smaller'. It's scary but empowering at the same time. Thank you all you fab ladies for your continued support!

That is fantastic!

I will admit to being jealous too. I'm one inch taller than you and still wearing size 18's, but that too shall change!

You are a thinspiration!

That's a big breakthrough, to start really thinking of yourself as smaller! Congratulations! And let us know how those 14s feel! Nice!

Hmmmm BeatlesFan, I like that word, Thinspiration!

I hope you strut your stuff all day when the 14's arrive. GREAT JOB!!

congrats, hotmama! I am SO jealous! I have yet to reach the size that you are, and I also (probably more importantly) have yet to begin to see myself as thinner than I used to be. I keep thinking that if I go shopping and see myself wearing smaller sizes, that will help, but so far it hasn't. I guess it's just a matter of patience!

Well done, you! I can definitely say that 14 is SKINNY.

Way to go! No more plus sizes for you either. I got there in Sept. 05. It's a good feeling, isn't it? 14s or size Large clothes were still kind of tight on me then. Now they are loose and comfy and my 12's are tight. You'll probably get there quicker than I did. Keep it up! AC
