Default Yippee Skippy New Jean Size

Okay, for me this is enormeous. I have worn elastic waist pants for years now because if I buy womens sizes that are non elastic, well when I fit them in the waist I can put someone else in the butt and hips with me.

So about three weeks ago I bought a pair of courdory pants in 18W with elastic in the waist. The first time I wore them was yesterday an I noticed they were a little baggy. I was thinking I could have almost gotten a 16W but at the time I thought they fit perfectly.

This morning I was looking at the pile of jeans a friend who had lost weight gave me. The last time I tried them on I had to suck it in to zip them. I never wear clothes so tight that I roll over the top, I just don't think that is a good look. So I pick up the first pair of jeans and they are a 16L. Not a plus 16, but regular. I am thinking, no way in he__ these are going to fit but what the heck. I put the first leg in and they are snugger around the thigh then I am used to so I'm thinking, nope not yet, but I decide to pull them up anyway. I get them up and start to pull the zipper and it goes up with out a problem. They fit!!!!! I run over to the full length mirror to make sure I am not spilling over the top and nope they look good. They fit my butt really good too!

Now I have a pile of jeans that fit but the problem is I am 5' 4 3/4" and the girl that gave them to me is 5' 9". I had to roll them up three times so I could walk over to the mirror. So I have to make a visit to another friend who promised to alter my clothes for me as I was losing to hem up about 8 pairs of jeans. Woo Hoo!!!

And I was starting to get discouraged because my weight has been bouncing around three pounds down, three or four up for months. It's true ladies, when you aren't losing, hang in there because inches are slowly coming off!

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.
