woo hoo i'm in a 12 now!!

So I started out at 227 lbs. and now I am down to 180 lbs. I have been in a size 14, and they have been a bit baggy. however, I was too scared to venture over to the "other" section. I was so worried that people would look ant me, and think, "what is she doing in this section"? I told myself that in November I would go try on a size 12. Well today I was at Ross with my son, and I had this wild idea to just go grab a pair of 12's and buy them. I went over to the rack, and pulled out a size 12. I didn't even try them on at the store hehe. I figured that if they didn't fit then I would just hold on to them until they did. Well....when I got home i tried them on, and they fit perfect!! They are even loose on me!!!! woo hooo!!!! Now to see if they still fit after I wash them hehehe.
