38 inches

That was the size of my waist the year I graduated HS and weighed what I thought was a very fat 190 pounds.  As of today it is my waist size again, hoever this time I wheigh nearly 60 pounds more than I did back then. All I can guess is that perhaps now I have more muscle mass than I did then, because my belly still seems much larger to me now.

The high heat we had this summer possibly helped the weight loss along for all I know. However, much of my exercise has been indoors in a swimming pool...

Yay for collarbones and self-affirming jeans!

I don't want to say that "you look like another person", because that's not the case. Rather a version of you that was ready to be here, once you decided it was time.

Go ahead - I have had several people who had not seen me in a good while react in surprise as they did not recognize me. I am still far heavier than I want to be, but am nowhere near as large as I once was...

Yes, I am well aware of vanity sizing and tested the size by trying on several different brands. The one I know that is a reliable 38 is the Wrangler Cowboy Cut. Those fit well. One reason one 38 may feel roomier than another 38 is the cut of the seat and thich as well. Even the "slim fit" Wrangler 38's fit, though a bit too tight for me right now in the butt and legs.

I do wear SPF 30 when I am in the sun - I like to be tan...
