I started bawling in Kmart

It's understandable that you would cry.  I had no idea that I might be able to fit into some 3x's.  I've been wearing 4x's.  Now I will go try some 3x's, thanks to your post!  You've made my day! :)

I almost cried when I got home after going to Kmart.  They had a men's size 50 pair of shorts on a clearance rack.  I picked them up since I figured I would eventually get into them. Got home and tried them on and...THEY FIT!!  The waist was actually a little lose but they were perfect around my hips and lose enough in the thighs to be comfortable.  And I was able to use the belt that came with them too.

I also tried on my roommate's 2x shirt and it fit!  

I had a meltdown when I was trying to find clothes for a job interview.  None of my appropriate clothing fits anymore..it all looks like it swims on me.  Even the stuff that was too tight for me to wear is big.

I have no concept of what size I should expect to be at various points in my weightloss.  I was a 32/34W, 4X at my highest!
