Thought I was overestimating my ability to fit into 35” 501 jeans after weight loss from 42” but missed my window for cancellation by 10 minutes. Went ahead & ordered a pair of 36” just in case. Imagine my surprise & delight to be able to fold my waist into 35”, albeit snugly! Plan on being down another 10-20 lbs in the coming weeks so I should grow into them just fine👍☺️ The 36” can remain a placeholder for now and a possible emergency fit that might be needed later😄
