Going Well, Kind of

I have a funeral I have to go to on Monday.
I have 0 clothes that fit me now.
I tried to put on some pants last night to go out, and the fell off....they were my smallest pair.
I was slightly miffed, because I have nothing to wear, yes, it's a good thing, but it's also slightly frustrating when you're going to get dressed and everything falls, and is super baggy.

I have one pair of yoga pants that I can wear, well, they stay up anyway.  They are big around the waist and hips, but not enough to make it horrible.  So, for the past 2 weeks and 5 days, I have been wearing those anytime I go outside of the house.

But, I have this funeral to go to.

So my husband decided he'd take me shopping for black pants while we were out on our date last night.  We went to Old Navy because they were having a pretty amazing sale, and I ended up finding a nice pair of black pants that can be either dressed up or dressed down.  They are elastic in the waist so I can easily wear them, and as the swelling goes down they will still fit.  They are a size medium, which I was shocked about....

BUT.  While at Old Navy, I told him I was just curious as to what my current actual jean size is.
He wasn't really for me doing this, because he didn't want me to upset if the number wasn't what I expected it to be.  I explained that I understood I'm still swollen, and will remain swollen for at least another 4 weeks.  But, none of my clothes fit and I was just curious.
So, because I'm practical, I grabbed a size 16, 14, 12.  Now, my pants at home are either a 16 or a 14 (i have both bc I lost weight)....so I figured the 16 and 14 wouldn't fit me but try them on anyway I felt.  I was banking on the 12 being my fit.  Then I thought....hmmmm....just for fun, lemme grab these size 10 jeans.  Just to see how far away I am....

I went into the dressing room, and the 16 and 14 were falling off.  I put on the 12 thinking, aha, ok, my size, I'm ok with this!  I was a 12 in high school and looked GOOD.  If I'm a 12 now, after swelling I'll be about a 10 and I couldn't ask for more!

I pull up the 12s, button them, and there is about an inch gap between me and the jean button....I was confused, and thought...no...surely not.
I take them off, and slide on the pair of 10s.
They button.
There is no gap between me and them, nice and fitting.
I screamed out of the dressing room to my husband that I was getting these jeans, because they were a size ten and they FIT.  He laughed.  We got them.

The shirt is an old shirt, and pretty baggie on me, although I felt like it fit the "flowy" look, so didn't toss it out....if I wasn't wearing this shirt, I feel like it'd show how much better I'm looking...but, anyway, these are me in my size 10s.  I wore them the rest of the night, lol.

So this basically means that after all my swelling goes down in about another month (well, most of the swelling) I will be coming in at about a size 8.  Never ever in my life would I have thought that possible <3 best="" can="" clothes="" come="" cute="" decision="" definitely="" for="" garment="" have="" i="" is="" made.="" my="" nbsp="" off="" p="" pole="" so="" t="" the="" to="" tuck="" tummy="" wait="" wear="" y="">

Then I woke up this morning to having started my period, so glad I got to wear these before that happened!
