RALPH LAUREN SAYS THAT I AM BIG

A few weeks ago as I was continuing to pack on the pounds, it became necessary to search for new clothes yet again. My blue jeans did not fit, the black trousers that I had purchased before summer were no longer comfortable. My final purchase of jeans on the way up to 309 lbs was two pair of WRANGLERS 50" WAIST, 32" LENGTH RELAXED FIT. When I bought those Wranglers in Mid-November they fit, however by the end of December they were becoming tight and uncomfortable.   Fast forward to today, January 3, 2014. I am able to wear my RALPH LAUREN trousers again.   The size of these trousers is somewhat ironic. I feel thin (thinner) wearing them. They look much better than the 50/32 relaxed fit Wranglers. The size of the Ralph Lauren Trousers: BIG. You would have to search for a smaller tag near the zipper to discover that these are a 48" waist. (48B/32 - Mr. Lauren thinks that without the 'B' people won't know that they are big?) I have successfully reduced my size so that I am BIG. If I am BIG now, what size was I two weeks ago?  (BIGGER?) The irony is that I am pleased to be wearing these trousers, as I know that they may be BIG, they are still smaller than what I was wearing went I went to see my doctor for a 'wellness' checkup way, way back on December 24, 2014.
