Grrrr Stupid Jeans

Have you ever seen the 30 Rock episode where to get Lutz a date they change the size stickers at clothing stores?!

Size doesn't matter

it really is true in this case

i am visiting my mom next month, she hasn't seen me since WLS - she knows my weight loss - she'll see me, be happy,

my mom sees me she'll ask my size, its medium, she'll be very happy - but if i told her it was a large, she wouldn't be that happy - go figure

its the psychological thing about a number - whether it be clothes or the scale

Linds324 - you will see the effects of your hard work - others see it - but your reflection in the mirror - looks the same to you - you see it every day-you'll eventually notice the difference

continued good luck - you are doing great my friend

The range between sizes 18 and above can be many inches and many pounds. As you get into the single digits or even size 12 and below, the difference between sizes can be as little as 10 pounds or less.

definitely one of those things geared to mess with our heads. It is totally normal to want to see visual evidence and validation of all your hard work. Keep hanging in. You will get there and this will be but a bump on the road.

We women are so hard on ourselves. As others have said, as you get into smaller sizes, they'll go by faster.

And I sooo get teh psychology of it all. I typically wear a medium in tops, but I have 36DD breasts, so if I shop in juniors or a teen store like Hollister or Abercrombie, I may need an XL. It used to play a game with my head, but i got over it a few weeks ago because I just like those clothes sometimes. It's not the size but how sexy I look in it. <----- own that statement.
