Patti, I had that happen to me, except they were for me. I went to get some shorts and I *never* clothes shop. Seriously, it has been 2 years and 70+lb since I went shopping - I just get stuff adjusted to fit, wear hand-me-downs, or wear gym wear when out running errands (I telecommute, so it is not a big issue). I was at my smallest ever, at my goal, and I had no clue what size I was. The saleslady asked me and I said tentatively "Medium?" cause when I got married and was a little bigger I was a Medium, so that was the only referrence I had. She looked at the size of my thighs and said "We'll start with the Large", implying even that wouldn't fit. Damn, that hurt.
The end of that story is that the Large was too big, and even the Medium was a bit baggy, but I am not sure I like the idea that I look fatter than I am. When I was 230lb I looked thinner, people usually guessed me 1 clothes size smaller. Now I look fatter. Go figure.
