I needed to seriously by new nursing uniforms. I have been just going to the thrift stores and grabbing clothes not really sure what size I am. Evidentally, I am thinking that I need much larger then I really need clothing.

I went to the uniform store and said that I needed help. I have been going there for the 25 years that I have been a nurse. I about passed out when they gave me XS pants and tops to try and they fit!! I used to wear a 2x!! This is so wild.'

The scale weight and my clothing weight do not really jive but I am not complaining. NO COMPLAINT COMMITTEE NEEDED HERE LOL.....

Congratulations! Here I am thinking I'd be happy in a Large, and there you are slipping into an XS! That's so awesome!

Congratulations! I never used to think XS was a real size and now I wear it! It feels amazing,doesn't it?! I am 31/2 years out and still have no concept of what my size of clothes look like. When I go to Goodwill I pull out pants that are about a size 8 instead of the zero or one that I need.

I used to think the same thing about XS. I am now amazed at how large XS can actually be, and I recently discovered that some clothes come in XXS. I had no idea that was a size! I have been struggling lately with the fear of putting on shirts that look really small because I think I will get stuck in them. It amazes me every time the shirt fits.

Wow...you have come a long way baby! The staff in the uniform shop must be blown away (and I'm sure talk behind your back - in a good way)

My scale fluctuates from 138-142.... Not sure how that is XS but it must be all the GARBAGE we are not loading our tummies with?
