Trying on clothes

Trying on clothes used to be a nightmare. At an AUS size 26 you basically bought whatever fit, whether it was really what you wanted or not. I've actually had to stop myself thinking that these days - I must ONLY buy what I really love, not buy something just because if fits.

Anyway, I just met the sister of a friend who was banded back in August 2009. She's down from a 26 to a 16 now, and looking great! She's getting rid of a heap of her clothes and brought the bags to me to see if I want them before Ebay got them.

It was mostly 20-26 with some 18's thrown in.

Well....

I rummaged through the bags, mainly picking out pants or jeans as that's what my wardrobe is missing. I picked out the 20's thinking they'll be good.

PROBLEM!!!

What is the problem you say??

THEY WERE TOO BIG!!!!!!

I'm currently wearing a pair of size 20 jeans that I thought were just a little big coz of their sizing. But NO, it appear that I'm a little less than a 20 now! The 20's still actually fit but really were that little bit too big, not fitting properly. I'm still a bit bigger on the top, but my "ladies" are of "generous proportion" LOL so that effects the size of tops.

The even better thing is that in the garage I have a huge bag of size 18's (given to me) that I might be able to fit into sooner than I thought!

ALL IN 5 MONTHS!!!

Remind me of this next time I whinge about the scales not moving much? ;)
