SIZE 8 JEANS

[fat-girl-slim08]

I just Popped into Carlisle to see about getting my new Tattoo next week and decided to stop off at matalan for a quick look at the jeans.
Well what can I say I am in total shock!
I took 4 pair of size 8 jeans went to the changing room, tried the first pair and they only blooming fit!!
I tried all 4 pairs on and they all fit
I decided to buy 2 pairs and I am sitting here in a pair now,but I just can't honestly believe it!!
I really do feel happy about this but I also feel like HOW on Earth can I be a size 8?
I have been in a daze driving back home and wondering if they are making sizes bigger & putting a smaller label on?
I just can't get my head around it!

OMG that is so fantastic, dreamland!! and i was so chuffed at going into Primark today and seeing a dress that screamed at me i fit i fit LOL needless to say i bought one in a size 14!!!!!! picked up the 16 and though nope the 14 due to needing the tightness over the bust as it is sleeveless. I am also sat in it wondering if i should now start thinking aobut reducing my weight loss as i do not want to be a total skinny mini i want some flesh. 14 and a half stone atm, even after the lower body lift that could mean as much as a stone off during that hmmm i think more exercise on the thights and hips is needed to shrink it a touch more....

what have you based your ideal weight on for me i look better a little outside my normal BMI, i look scrawny if i am within it

 

[fat-girl-slim08]

Thats Great news for you Tender I bet your so pleased, well done. We have both come a long way in such short time, and I think thats whats so hard to get my head around, Its happened in no time really,
Well Everytime i dieted in the past I always got to about 10 & Half stone then piled it all back on plus more, and this time I would like to get to about 9 st and always stay inbetween 9 & 10 st Forever, I was the same as i am now when I got married just over 10st, but i remeber back then, I thought i was fat and I just want to push myself that little bit extra, so I feel just right.

 

[tendersage]

wow your only 1/2 inch taller than me, i was a size 8 when i left school at 16 and then started piling the weight on. but then i had a very poor image of myself and althought i did not think i looked fat i did not like myself either. i was malnourished ect and if i was to go down to my normal BMI which is the same as yours between 9-10 stone then i am going to look like that again. Yes for me it is hard to believe i have come back to what i was 21 years ago in such a short time. Having just spoken to my dietitian he has said i will need my BMI down to at least 32 before they would contemplate a tummy tuck ect so i have a nother couple of stone to go. On top of that i need to start having more carbs in the morning ie weetabix for breakfast... he is happy that when i lay in on days off i have my double shot of protien shake to make it up for the day but wants me to experiment more... even asked if i was still able to avoid carbonated drinks... which i am.

plus i was told to get my thyoid rechecked as my meds may now need adjusting, thats booked for tomorrow. He also informed me i could be due for a plateu :-( and it could last up to 3 weeks before i start losing again
