Vanity Sizing

[judecorp]

Okay, so I at first thought it was an Old Navy fluke of vanity sizing, but Jen and I went "school shopping" last weekend so she could get some new fall shirts for work. We hit up the mall and I went into Filene's Basement to look for some deals.

I ended up getting a skirt (another skirt, what is UP with that?) and a pair of dress pants. I guess I really AM a size 12 these days.

That's just WEIRD. When I started taking Metformin in February '05, I wore men's 36s, and usually a women's 16 (sometimes an 18 depending on cut). No exercise, no dieting, SOME better food choices. It's a crazy drug.

I think I've finally stopped losing weight, though, which is good. I started getting concerned when I hit the 30lb mark. My weight at my last IUI was 152.

I never really lost weight from the metformin I don't think. that's great you went down to a size 12. I do think Old Navy sizes larger too. I always seem to fit a size smaller there.

This is such cool info about the Metformin. And your tag of "the incredible shrinking woman" was kind of nostalgic for me because back before I had such trouble with my feet and I was going to yoga three times a week, my yoga instructor called me her "ISW". I'm still waiting on Metformin to work it's magic on me, and it has...in some ways, like my cholesterol, but not in poundage yet. I'm on 1000mg/day, how about you?

I have to go school shopping next week. I'm going to be going on a trip to meet the VP of our company and I want to look nice. By the way, I think you live near a friend of mine, she shops at Filene's basement too. her LJ is lakshmi_amman she does SCA stuff with me but also dances with boston babydolls a burlesque troupe. Next time they are dancing I'll let you know!

That's so cool about your weight loss. I only lost about 20 pounds on Met, and I was dieting. But I was not insulin resistant.

That's so great. I wish I weighed 152.
