I know I voiced this particular frustration in an earlier post. The fact that you might wear one size at Old Navy and a completely different size at Gap. And the clothes from Target will fit different than either of those! Same goes for Lane Bryant.
But that being said, I discovered something bizarre 2 days ago. Damian wasn't home from work yet and I decided to see if I had a skirt that would match the blue shirt I was wearing. So I looked up in the closet and saw a stack of skirts I had forgotten about. One was white with blue stripes. So I grabbed it to see what size it was. It's a 16. Knowing that there was NO WAY it would fit, I decided to try it on. Imagine my surprise when I was able to button that skirt and walk around comfortably in it. I really was shocked!
Not only that, but I ordered a couple of pairs of size 16 shorts from Old Navy that were on clearance. They came today. The jean shorts fit perfect. The white ones look nice, although may be a tad snug. But not uncomfortable snug.
The thing that makes this bizarre is that I seem to have skipped over the size 18s. I still have several things that are size 18 and I won't be getting rid of them quite yet bc they're not too big. It just seems like I missed a step somewhere. I still don't think I'd be able to wear a Gap 16, but once again, I'll take an Old Navy 16 and be just fine, thank you!
Scale weight this morning (after my interval walking): 208
Moving average: 210.7
New mini-goal: 200
You may recognize that new mini-goal as my original, long-term, by Christmas goal. I will change the Christmas goal once I've reached 200 and know how much time I've got to work with until Christmas.
I also don't know how much longer I'm allowed to take the Phentermine. This is my 3rd month using it. From what I remember from reading online, most people take it for up to 12 weeks, and then take a break. So we'll see what my doctor says when I go back to see him on September 26th.
Anyway, it was a good day for trying on clothes!

I am so proud of you! I, too, tried on a skirt I hadn't worn in some time (lets say 2+ years) to find that it fit also. What a rush that is! Keep up the good work.
