So I kind of have a problem with thinking I'm much larger than I am now and it makes me wary of clothing sizes. I often look at clothing and deny that I might fit into them, and go with a larger size that I know will fit, even if it doesn't fit correctly.
Example: Went to Target and looking for some new warm weather clothing as mine is now too large. There were some nice, kind of above the knee length, denim skirts. I took the 14, something I knew I would fit into, and tried it on. It was too large for my waist and I knew that within a month or too it would be too large to wear comfortably or without it looking silly, so I put it back on the rack... but did I try a smaller size? No. I just left without buying anything. I guess because I didn't want the frustration of "haha, not yet. You're still too big for me!" mocking me. You know, the annoying between sizes time when you're too small for your previous size but too big for the next size down.
Well, yesterday as part of my Easter Basket my mom bought me a khaki skirt of the same length, and to my surprise and somewhat disappointment in a size 12. "Oh, I guess I can wear it in a few months" I said. I was convinced that if I could even fit it over my hips that it wouldn't be comfortable. Well I tried it on and it actually fits quite comfortably. It sits a little higher on me than what is probably normal, but it's not tight across my hips or anything. I know I cannot fit into size 12 jeans yet (the real test) but this is the first time I've fit into anything under a 14 that I can ever remember... ever!
Pictures coming later.
