Right now, I'm a size 16, but I feel like they should really make a size 16 1/2 or a size 17!!! Size 18 in any plus size section is like waayy too big (wide) for me, but if any of the Misses clothing comes in size 18, that is usually perfect for me. However, it's pretty rare to find 18 in the Misses section (in my experience).
In any case -- I'm looking to get down to size 8!!! |
I hate clothing sizes. I decided that I am not buying any more plus-sized clothes (clothes with a W in the size). I can usually fit into a regular 16 or 18, so that is what I will be buying. What really frustrates me is that the brands all have different sizing systems. I bought one brand in a size 18 and it was too big (I could take them off without unbuttoning them!) while another brand I bought a size 18 and they were almost to tight! Very frustratrating! My other problem is that my hips/butt are weigh bigger than my waist, so when I find pants that fit over my big butt, they are too big in the wasit. Okay, enough of the sizing rant.
I didn't weigh in this week. I wasn't home all week. I stayed with my mom after my surgery and her only scale is down stairs and after knee surgery, any unnecessary stairs are definately out. Not only that she has a lot of stairs and they are really steep, so I probably would have fallen down them anyway. I am hoping to lose some this week, but I am going to have to do it all with diet since exercising is out. I will probably start physical therapy sometime next week. I am going to the doctor for my post-op appointment on Thursday.
