My birthday was about three weeks ago and both my husband and my best friend got me gift cards to my favorite stores. Well, I told myself that I wouldn't buy new clothes until I'd hit 199, so of course I was off shopping yesterday. I bought my first pair of Kenneth Cole pants (yeehaw) which were a 14 and my best friend called me in the middle of my shopping spree and said, "If you can fit in a 14 Kenneth Cole, then you're probably a 12." To which I said, "Whatever." But then... I went to another store and found a pair of pants on sale that were a 12 and decided, what the heck? I'll try them on... THEY FIT PERFECTLY! O h m y g a w d

I haven't been a size 12 for over 20 years... I'm both stunned and thrilled! Yippee for me!
