A Pair of Size 6 jeans, with a side of Imposter Syndrome...

From my starting weight of 215 pounds in a pair of six 16 pants, today I weighed 167.8 pounds and bought a pair of size 6 jeans. The last time that I weighed 167 pounds was in the 6th grade when I was 11 years old. The last pair of size 6 jeans that I bought was...never. The first pair of jeans that I can ever remember having were a woman's size 10 from the Gap. I should feel out of my mind with happiness right now, but I'm having a weird bout of imposter syndrome right now. I'm literally wearing the jeans as I type this, but my mind keeps thinking "oh, they must be cut really large" or, "they must be mislabeled" or, "really, you should be a size 12 right now." I'm not fishing for compliments so much as wondering if anyone else experiences or has experienced this really strange phenomenon, like I'm faking everybody out and one day they are going to realize that I am actually a size 14.
