Again today I got into a size 4 jean, zipped up and still able to breathe, quite comfortable thank you. This can't be right. As much as I would like to be excited about the size 4 I can see myself and I certainly don't look that small. On top of that my wedding dress was a size 6 and I am about 18 pound heavier than I was then. I think the clothing industry has compensated for the ego of we overweight Americans. I guess I'll take my size four and be happy about it without wondering what size this would have really made me nine years ago.
