Size 6? Not me!! I believe you will be a size 4. Once the swelling is all the way down and that nice taut tummy has no companion skin flapping...Size 6 will be for the first 2-3 weeks, but after that, size 4, no problem! When you get down to the tiny sizes it takes less change of weight to move up and down. When you went from 30 to 28, that was what, 20 lbs to lose? Going from 8 to 6 is like 8 lbs, 6 to 4 is like 5lbs. 4 to 2 is like 3-4 lbs. The tiny sizes are where it's most variable, because that's where the people who are "size-ists" are, and they DO NOT want to say they wear a 6. Much better to lose 3 stinkin' pounds and say you wear a 4 or a 2.

I honestly think I would faint right away if I ever made it down to a 4!!! I mean...what in the world is a 4??? My head doesn't know how to wrap it's mind around the idea of 6's or 4's!! *LOL*

You have to understand that I have been overweight since I was 8 years old. I had some brief periods where I was 150-160 BUT this body NEVER put itself into ANYTHING smaller than a 12-14. So a 4 or even a 6 will for sure change me into a blubbering idiot and send me right over the edge!! I started this journey wearing size 34-36!!....really, a size 4????

I'm even scared to think of myself that tiny!! I'm serious, is that weird? It's almost like sometimes I think to myself, "do I really deserve this?"

ok...ok...I'm already turning into a blubbering idiot...here comes the tears...


sheesh....the skinner I'm getting the more emotional I seem to be getting.

It's kind of like going from a 30 to a 0, ya know? I did find out today that there is a 00...I think that's what Paris Hilton must wear, cuz I feel like a blimp compared to her or Nichole. But then I look at pictures of Angelina and Teri Hatcher, and I think "they look so anorexic" and then I realize "wait! We wear the same size!" and I lose all perspective completely.

I KNOW how wild and crazy it is! My smallest size was when I was 14 I wore a 7jp. I was da shit for about a month. I know, Beth, I know. Now you've got me going teary. I know, Sweetheart.
