NSV: Jeans!

hollythehutt

In December, when I started seriously counting calories, I wore UK size 10 jeans. I don't know what my measurements were at the time, other than that I was somewhere between 115 and 120lbs and had a very high body fat percentage (flab everywhere, could barely run 300m without being out of breath... generally a very unhealthy situation). I'd had selective eating disorder since I was 7 and only got rid of it in July; I "celebrated" by stuffing my face. So, for various reasons, my diet, for most of my life up until December, had been awful.

Most of the jeans I owned were size 8, 10, or 12. None of them now fit me, so yesterday I went shopping for new jeans.

I couldn't find a single pair of jeans, anywhere in the shopping centre, that fit me. Topshop only went down to a 25" waist; mine's now 24.4". H&M went down to a UK size 6, but they were a little big. It was much the same situation in every single shop. I eventually walked home with some 25" Topshop jeans, size 6 H&M jeans, size 8 Monsoon jeans, and size 6 Debenhams suit trousers, all of which are too big in the waist - I'm probably going to have them taken in.

Thank you, MFP! I'm not finished, nowhere near it, but I feel as if I've made some modicum of the journey towards success.

Thank you! I might post pictures of how oversized last year's jeans are on me now?
