When is a size 18 not a size 18

May 26, 2009

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away (ode to George Lucas) I had lost alot of weight.  As I started gaining it back I kept my clothes.  I always new I would get back down in size.  Well, the day came when my size 20 pants were getting a little too big.  I pulled out the box with the size 18 and tried them on.  Lo and behold they were about 2 inches from closing.  HMMM, that doesn't make much sense.  So I go to Walmart and try on size 18 pants from the "womens" department and lookey there, they fit!  Well, I guess the jeans at home are regular person size 18, and the ones I bought from Walmart are big girls 18 (what they call 18w).  I know I should be excited to be in a smaller size but it is a little disapointing that is isnt in a "real" size 18.  Oh, well, just about another inch or so and I will be in them.  Even if I turn blue because I can't breath...lol 
Lesson learned---all sizes are not created equal!
