Size 16??

So my jeans are way too big and I have a few Levi size 16s in my close that oddly enough have the tags still on them. No idea how long I've had them. They a.l.m.o.s.t. fit, but not comfy enough yet. In the interim I decided to buy a new pair of whatever size fits me now and everyone kept telling me to go to Old Navy. I don't shop at Old Navy because nothing fit me there before. So in I go and I grab a 20, an 18, and a 16. I put the 20s on...too roomy. I put the 16s on, just to rule them out. I could button them and zip them, but they took a little effort and made me have a not so attractive muffin top. To the 18s I went. Pulled them right on. No muffin top. Very comfy! They were long though, so I had to go back and find an average length. I looked on every shelf, touched every pair of jeans, and there were NO 18 AVERAGE JEANS! Finally I looked under one of the advertisement sign, and there was another hidden stack. I flipped through all those, and finally got to the last pair. It was an unmarked pair.So I looked at the tag. Oh my gosh! 18 Average! Hooray! I snatched them and got in the crazy line at the check out counter. After getting home, I went straight upstairs to put them on. They were kind of snug in the waist. Not really a muffin top, but not exactly the way the other 18s fit. Dang it. So then I took them off and looked at the tag...16. I had misread it at the store. Now, on the plus side, they do fit, albeit snugly. Better than the ones I tried on actually. However, they are not comfy jeans...yet. But I'm still excited! I wore them all afternoon and I'm going to keep wearing them to see if they will get stretched out a little. Until then I am going online and using a $10 off coupon to get another pair that is size 18. Hmmm...Getting there!!!
