Default Size What???

So I was at Walmart waiting for a prescription to be filled and thought I would try on some jeans to kill the time. I went over and grabbed some cute Walmart brand jeans size 8 and 10. I headed to the dressing room all excited to try on a single digit size. I told myself try the 8s first and already told myself its ok if they don't fit don't get disappointed. Well I put the 8's on and they were to big. I ran out and grabbed a 6 and kept thinking this can't be right. I put them on and they fit perfect. I started crying and even let out a whoop. I walked out of the room and the lady was looking at me like I was crazy. I said OMG in Jan. I wore a size 26/28 and I just fit into a 6! She said what did you do? I smiled and said gastric bypass. No I didn't buy the jeans, like I said I was just killing time.
