Went shopping and to my surprise....
I got in a size 29!
I went to forever 21, the whole time thinking, "they're not gonna have anything in my size. No way!"
So anyways, I walked up to the jeans cause they said $10, which to me is a bargain, since I'm used to paying $40+ for jeans at Lane Bryant. The biggest size I found were 30, and since I know nothing about sizes,( in the US they mostly use sizes 2,4,6,8 etc, so I don't know what these other sizes meant) I asked the lady at the counter what their biggest size was. She said that if I look I could probably find a 31.
So I went to look again and still couldn't find any, but decided, what the heck, let's give the 30's a try. They fit, but a little big. So I thought, well, why not try the 29's? What do I got to lose?
Guess what?! They totally fit! So I bought two, because I have no jeans to wear, the ones I have at home are 14's and kept sliding off. I went online to check what a size 29 would be, and it said its a size 8! An 8!!! That's too crazy! I'm amazed by how far I've come.
Okay, so anyways, I get home and I did have one pair of jeans I had been saving that are a size ten. I hadn't tried them thinking they'd be to small. They are now too big! I didn't even get to wear them! The tag is still on them. Smh...

I do the whole look for the biggest size thing too, habit I guess. I was absolutely floored last week when I bought a 12 in pants and a medium top. If I ever get in single digits I'll have to be carried out.
