Size 12?? Gonna sail right by!

Apr 29, 2010

I seriously cannot believe this.  Back in September when I had the surgery, my wls buddy Kelley and I were talking about summer and the size clothes we'd be shopping for.  We both were so excited to be thinking a "size 16" by summer.

Kelley sailed right by the 16's before the needles were falling off the Christmas trees.  I took a little longer, but got there myself.  Imagine my surprise, though, when I tried on a size 12 the other day and they fit!  I kept thinking they were maybe mislabeled or something, but I decided WHO CARES, it's still a 12, right?

Well, yesterday I decided to bring out my "goal" jeans.  I bought these 6 years ago when I was on my last "successful" diet (before gaining back the 80 I'd lost PLUS 50 more).  I never did fit into these jeans.  They are a size 12 that have been stuck in the back of my closet all this time.  I pulled them off the hanger, stepped into them, and over my hips!  Never had they gone that far before.  So I decided to try and button them.  YEP, they buttoned!  Next challenge, zippering... YES!!  They zipped right up without the use of a crowbar and pair of pliers!  I'm OFFICIALLY in a size 12!!  I still cannot believe it!  Only problem was, they are about 3 inches too short LOL!  So I'm wearing them rolled up today!
