Jeans! I used to be so afraid of them. Now I'm knocking 'em down like they were pins at a bowling alley. I remember, two years ago, I had purchased a cheap pair of jeans - the only size 14 I could find that would do up, and not look ridiculous. On reflection (and some information about the measurements for standard clothing sizes), I realise when I was squeezing into those sad cheap size 14s, I was probably closer to a size 18 - not funny. I found a size 18 garment in my favourite store -SAVERS- and upon reading the tag, realised my old measurements were exactly that! Again, not funny!
But I'm pleased to report that I will need to alter the garment purchased yesterday at savers by removing a LARGE amount of the material to make it fit! Incidentally, the size 12 Lee jeans I'm wearing above were purchased from Savers a few months ago. They were snug as a bug and even forced out a slight bulge. Now they are noticeably relaxed, verging on loose. And the bonus with Savers clothes is that they are pre-stretched, so if they used to fit, but now they are loose, there's only one explanation for it!

WOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOO - you have GOT to love that feeling of your clothes swimming on you? I must admit - I'm guilty to the denial of the real size for many years.
Go you!!
