I just have to tell SOMEONE!!

About a month ago, I realized that all my 3X shirts were basically "falling off me".... so I ordered a whole new bunch of 1x shirts in pretty colors. They should be able to last me a while, as I can tuck them in or belt them over my slacks. One of the shirts is chocolate brown, and I didn't have a pair of pants that would go with it, but I really wanted to wear it. So, off I took myself last week to WalMart to see what they had. Since the last time I had a pair of women's pants on (see the "purple" pictures in my photo album) they were a size 24W, I figured that a 22W would be a good place to start. So I got a couple of different styles of Khaki and chocolate brown slacks and tried them on..... waaaaaay too big. Okay, so I take them back and get a size 20W. Still way too big. Hmmm.... a size 18W?? Well, they fit, but loosely, and I could tell I would shrink out of them in no time at all. Shaking my head in disbelief, I went and found a couple of pairs of 16W and tried them on. I couldn't believe it!!! They fit. A tiny bit snug, but with a little spandex or something in the material that made them hold their shape and move with me instead of cutting me in half.!! I HAVEN'T WORN A SIZE 16 SINCE I WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL!!! Now I understand that today's size 16 is like a size 20 when I was back in high school... but just the sound of it.... incredible and amazing. I'm floating on air!
