I bought a new pair of pants 2 sizes smaller than I normally wear. I waiting for the day to put those on. I'm ready to change size.

Our perception is just messed up. I was shopping this last weekend. I picked up a size 10 jeans and thought they were way too small. They fit (yea!).

Then I go looking for another style of jeans and when I look at the size 10 I think that they look huge - like look at the size of that butt!! They fit too (yea!).

what's up with that?

Hi All

I hate to say this but a relative of mine had gastric stapling surgery 12 years ago & she still looks at clothes in shops that are far to big for her!

I wonder if you know you have lost the weight but your head tells you

something different when looking at clothes???

She looks great though & am really proud of her !!!!!

I have always said I have a skinny person inside trying to get out... now I wonder if when I finally get thin, if I will still have a fat lady hiding in the closet.

I'm a manager at an Old Navy store, and I have this one customer, she was in our store shopping one day, Looking very very lost, dressed in sweats at the time. So I went over and asked if I could help her find something in particular. She wanted to know where the plus section was? I told her we didn't have one at this store, But that I didn't think she needed a plus section and that I could help her find the right size. she too mee looked to be about a size 12-14 in bottoms and a large or xlarge top... she said no she wanted plus size clothes!!!! After a little bit of chit chat I found out she had gastric bypass and had lost 100 pounds so far and this was really her first time out shopping since losing the weight. I finally after much encouragement was able to pick out some clothes that I thought would fit her and she might actually like. We went to the dressing room, and she was estatic to come out in the size 14. So for the next hour I kept brining her clothes to try... she was in tears when she left as she has never been under a size 20 ever she said.... She became one of my best customers. She still to this day thinks of herself as alot bigger and always wants me to find her a bigger size.....
