  • Oops - get me a smaller size!

    Yesterday I went to buy some new jeans. I took a pair of jeans and two pairs of trousers into the changing room, put on the first pair of trousers and they were huge! I glanced at the pairs still hanging up and realised I'd taken my old size - two sizes larger, in with me automatically! I had read on the forum a few weeks ago about someone who did the same, but still couldn't believe I'd done it!

    Do you recognise this? You open the changing room curtain and the assistant asks you 'Any good?'
    You smile and say something like 'I'm not sure, I'll think about it.' Never in a million years would you say 'No thanks, they are too small!' Then you sneak back to the rail and take down a size bigger.

    Well not yesterday - I flung open the curtain and announced to the assistant (probably a bit louder than strictly necessary!) 'Do you have these two sizes smaller?'

    Ah - the joy!

      Awesome! Ain't Atkins grand? Two sizes down is fabulous!
      People who say it can't be done, should not interrupt those doing it.

        Great shrinking!

        That is such a great feeling the first time it happens

        I remember not being able to stop smiling all day after the last time I went shopping in Evans (used to be advertised as 'Evans the outsize shop') and was told by the assistant "Sorry, Madam, we don't stock sizes small enough for you"
        Wondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?
        Take a look at the thread from the latest Veggie Challenge to see how others manage it!

          That was I. And I was almost in tears in the changing room because those pants didn't fit. Then I realized they didn't fit because they were too big!

                Congrats! Same thing happened to me this morning. My 40's were ridiculously loose, so I tried on 38's. Nope, 36's are just right. Such a great feeling...good for you/us!
