My Jeans in Pictures

The jeans on the bottom were my all time favorites, size 22W short "Amanda" cut by Gloria Vanderbilt. I've had them in several different sizes & colors. At my heaviest this particular pair were almost too tight in the waist, they were always loose fitting from mid thigh down. The top pair is the ones I bought today misses size 10 short mid-rise, straight leg, stretch by Levi's. I put the old jeans on over the ones I was already wearing and still couldn't pooch out enough gut to keep them up!! I keep holding up the 10's and saying, "Really? These fit ME?!?!?! Really?!"

I saved one pair of my size 20's. Sometimes I put them on and giggle lol. I used to buy those Amanda jeans too. One of the few brands that have short jeans that fit. I finally found some at Fashion Bug that fit. I used to buy ALL my clothes there, and now I can shop anywhere and they are the only ones who make a short jean that's cut right for me.

I have also found out that it's just as hard for me to shop for clothes now as when I was 240+ lbs. Actually, it was easier as there was only one section that had anything that fit. Now I wander all over and still can't find anything. The thing I always hated about plus size clothing is that they apparently think if you wear a 2x you must love big flowers all over your clothes lol.

Oh.. and I hang those big pants right in the front of my closet so I never ever forget how big my booty was.

Yes! That's awesome. Love the picture. I tried on my "Jared" skirt yesterday and it was nutty how big it was. The thing was skin tight on me - I wore it the DAY I started my pre-op diet. I actually thought it looked cute. I hold up small pants now and I can't believe that they fit me! It's so much fun! Congrats on your success - only 7 pounds to goal? That is so great!!!

wahooo...I dream of 10's :) I got on slacks once but I think it was a vanity size thing..Jeans..no way. The difference in the two pairs of jeans is impressive.

Thanks for commenting a few days ago at my place. There is another person coming down from the Seattle area..Not sure if that is the particular part you are at.

xxxooo
