I went to Walmart to check out bathing suit tops. I just wanted a top (like a tanktini to cover my midriff) so I can go in my pool....I'll wear shorts on the bottom.......not going outside the house with my saggy baggy legs flapping all over.
How shocked was I that I fit into a size SMALL (4-6)!!!! yep.......I'm wearing a teeny, weenie, tankini.
Plus
Just for fun I tried on jeans......the pair I'm still wearing is a very baggy size 12 cause I don't want to buy another pair until after my LBL.....I comfortably fit into size 8 jeans. This blows my mind because perhaps, dare I say, I will fit into size 6 jeans after my LBL?????? Unbelievable!! When I started on this journey I said I'd be happy to be back in a 16 or maybe a 14......never entered my head that I could wear size 8 jeans!
WAHOOOOOOOO

Congratulations and you go girl!
Prayers are being said for the surgery that is coming up. I know that everything will be good and soon you will be out and about going to fitting rooms and seeing how those jeans are fittin'!
Sending you love and hugs...

It's not what you gather, but what you scatter
that tells what kind of life you have lived.
Way to go on the small top and size 8 jeans!

Thanks for all the "kudos".......I'm still dancing on air. I'm actually thinking of going back and buying those jeans just so I can show off for a few weeks...LOL shame on me!
Aloha friend..........How exciting for you!! These are the moments that make it all worth it, huh. I am with you with the flappy legs, but small price to pay for being small in anything, eh? Ha!
You reminded me when my son and DIL gave me a gift certificate for a nice department store in Calif. and I had a "dresser" help me pick out an outfit. She started by bringing in size 12 jeans, then 10's and finally said "my dear, you wear an 8!!" And I did........it was beyond belief. Probably because the store was expensive and sizes are bigger, but hey...I didn't care...I was wearing a size 8!! And......happy dance here too is that I am still wearing those black jeans a year and a half later.
Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy.......you have done something marvelous!!
