I'm so very happy this afternoon!  Even through all the setbacks and struggles after my RNY last year, I couldn't be more happy with the outcome.

Earlier today I took a trip to the mall.  I had to go to GNC for my protein and some vitamins, so I figured I'd stop in at J.C. Penney to buy some new slacks for work and maybe jeans.  I go there because I can always find a true petite size that fits me well there.  Anyway...

I go to Penney's first.  The slacks I bought back in October (Size 8P) are too loose and being held up with a belt.  My jeans (Size 6P), which were given by my mom, are also too small.  So I grab a Size 6P in slacks and a Size 4P in jeans and head to the fitting room.  Turns out they were all way too loose!  So as I head back to the racks, I'm thinking "this can't be true!"  It took a while to find pants that were smaller than the first ones I picked, but I managed to find some.  Come to find out I now fit into a Size 2P in jeans and a Size 4P in slacks... I HAVE NEVER WORN SIZES THAT SMALL!!!

As I stood in the fitting room looking in the mirror, I started to cry.  A year ago I was wearing a Size 22W in slacks and a Size 18W in jeans.  Now here I was wearing Size 2P and Size 4P respectively and they fit perfectly.  I wiped my tears, looked and myself again and just started beaming with so much pride in myself.  After I hit GNC, I called my husband to give him the news.  We've been together since high school (more than 22 years).  He was speechless!  I can't wait to show him when he gets home tonight.  I have yet to tell my mom, but will when she drops my daughter off this afternoon after school.

So there's my newest NSV... and yes, I'm smiling as I type this!

JCP is the only place I have found that not only has the sizes I've worn, but also at just the right length.  Being petite it's so hard to find clothes that don't need further tailoring.  Drives me nuts!  So thank you for thinking about all ladies no matter what size or height!
