So I purchased the shorts. I bought a size 14. They were a really firm, if I hadn't known that I was going to be losing weight, I would have bought the size 16 as I did have quite a muffin top and they were not comfortable, I knew I was losing weight so would get into them eventually. Well about 7 -8 weeks later, I was wearing those shorts to a friends house and she said. Oh, look, I just have to say, those shorts are too big, they don't look right! Now someone may be offended by this comment, but I was thrilled. I knew they were getting baggy and are the type of shorts that stretch as they are worn, so when I got home I did look in the mirror and they were looking too big. So I went out the next morning and bought the size 12. Yes, that's right, the size 12!!!!!
I am now at the beginning of week 4 of 12WBT. I have lost about 12kgs, but I know I have lost a lot of cm's. I'm looking forward to this Wednesday weigh in as it's a milestone week, so we do all of our measurements again.
Now for the exciting thing. I have been wearing the size 12 bright green shorts for the last 7 or so weeks and on Thursday I was in the office and someone said to me. Gosh you are looking good, those shorts are too big! AGAIN, someone else talking about my shorts! So on Friday I popped out and bought the same shorts in a size 10. Can you believe it, a size 10!
Now I know I still have about 13kg to go. I wouldn't say that I am a size 10.... yet.... Whilst the 12 are getting big, the 10 are quite firm, but I know that in a couple of weeks, they will fit nicely. They were the only 10 left so I wanted to snap them up, after all it's only the beginning of summer and I don't want to be without my cute green shorts for the rest of the summer. I have gone down three clothes sizes!
The size 10 is firm, like the size 14 was when I started this journey, but I can not wait for those too to become baggy and too big and I will then have to slip into the 8! Won't that be a day of celebration!
