I think I probably did fit a size 16 in *something* since sizes range so much depending on what your buying and who made it. From there, I just kept on buying the same size assuming that was my size.

As I said to purplejavatroll:

I think I was a little less comfortable with my body when I was younger. I'm feeling more confident/relaxed about it now and I more willing to show off my form. It helps that I'm becoming more fit.

I guess I'm just a little surprised that everyone except me has realized I wear clothes that are too large and I'm only just discovering it.

Mind you, I haven't had a full length mirror in a long, long time.
