Christmas Came Early

I may not be her, but I did fit into a pair of pants that I’ve been holding onto for when I get “a little thinner.” It just happens that it’s been rainy and cold (for us) here and I was looking for a pair of jeans to wear this morning. Just for shits and giggles, I thought I’d just see how this one pair of pants fit. Over the past year, I’ve been more or less using them as a gauge to mark my progress. When I first started out, I couldn’t even come close to zipping. It then got to be I could zip them but not move in them at all. Next was zip but be really really uncomfortable. The next time I tried them zipped them up, but not wear them out of the house because my fat was still spilling over, and really, that’s just not a good look for anyone. But this morning, hmmmm… zip, a little lose around the waist and a happy dance to go with it.

So looky here, I’m in my “when I get thinner” jeans and I’m actually going to out to lunch in them. Christmas came a little early for me this year and I'm not complaining one bit.

Woooooooooot! I don't have any skinny jeans anymore because I haven't been below a size 16 for most of my adult life, but wow, when I fit into the 12s, it was like one of the finest moments of my life!

Great! You should take a picture!

That is so cool! I have a size 6 skirt that is hanging in my closet. I think I need to bring it out so I have some motivation. Congrats!
