The jeans makers have obviously made a mistake. I tried on the equivalent of size 8 jeans today (they were Wrangler Aura jeans, which are sized larger, so a size 8 is labeled a size 6) ... and they fit!!
I'm stunned. And in serious need of counseling, since to me I look almost the same as I did 40 pounds ago.
And by the way, does anyone know what a good goal size is ...
