Size 8!

I am back down at goal and have been just hovering at cracking back down to 163. I noticed that the jeans I have been wearing for the past few months have developed a small hole right in the middle of my backside. At REI I flicked through the sales rack and found a pair of zipper pants (long pants that can be be turned into shorts with the pull of a zipper around the legs. I took them out of the size large section and took them to the dressing room (I always wear at least one size bigger at REI). I tried them on they fit slightly snuggly but were short. Grace looked at the tag and said well mom they are size 8 petites..no wonder they are too short! I actually put on a size 8 petite and zipped it. So I went out and rifled through the rack and found a size 8 regular pair of pants and a cool skirt from the same company. Hell yes I bought them!!

Still on my size 8 high I went over to Macy's and tried on replacement jeans (the 10's were too big and I got another 8). plus several blouses in size 10 (I have worn 12 on top). and lovely pair of baggy linen pajama pants that I have always coveted and now own!

Oh...like is juts dandy :) and I am ready to pack my bags for Europe in a few short weeks.

xxxooo

Awesome! I still get excited about new sizes. I had no problem getting on 10's at j crew (which runs small) yesterday and was happy.
8's seem so small because they are single digits.
