I was shopping today for an outfit to wear to my husbands company Christmas party. I didn't want to, but I needed too. I took some clothes into the dressing room. Around the same size as what I'm wearing now. Although these are a little baggy, it wasn't baggy enough to require a downsize yet, or so I thought. I tried on a pair of black velvet pants and a red tunic, but the pants size 28/26, were HUGE. I asked my friend to get me the next size down, and kind of giggled to myself. It felt good to need a smaller size, since for the last 15 years, I always needed a bigger size. She came back to the dressing room and said they had no size 24/22. I was sad, since I really liked this outfit. She proceeds to hand me a size 18/20. I laughed, these will never fit! She insisted I try them on. And guess what... THEY FIT! I'm still in shock! I am so grateful for my new life... and the best part.... it's only going to get better!!!!!

YEAH robin that is so cool!
