I stopped at Ross after school today to try and find a pair of regular jeans, exercise pants and black work pants that actually fit since my size 10s are now way too big to wear. With this goal in mind, I piled the pants up high - some 10s, mostly 8s, and I accidentally grabbed a pair of size 6 pants and a size 6 skirt - each were improperly hung on size 8 hangers. I went to the dressing room and proceeded to pull on then pull off pair after pair of pants. They were all too big! All except for the two pairs of size 6s and they just weren't the right style and they were slightly snug.
Whoa!! Hold the presses - did I just type that I fit into a couple size 6s?!?!
Yes, folks. You read that correctly. I literally fit into a size 6 today. I had to go back out and comb through the 6s to find a pair of black work pants that fit and then collected another mountain of pants in smaller sizes until I found a pair of jeans that fit. Now, I would say my size is most accurately a size 7-8 but I purchased a size 6 pair of pants today that actually do fit me. I decided against the expensive size 6 jeans and opted for a juniors 9-10 that cost less and fit fine. So, with all of this in mind, I cannot believe that I reached the benchmark of fitting into a size 6, but I am also not afraid to wear a 9-10 in another brand.
And the crazy part of this is that I am not seeing much change on the scale. But I am doing Zumba twice per week and I honestly think that I must be building muscle and losing fat. This has been such a journey and I am constantly amazed at how good it feels to be taking care of myself and feeling good about myself again. It's been a very long time.
