NSV - The "goal" jeans

Just wanted to share my non-scale victory. When I met my husband 8 years ago I was 118 lbs. I had a favorite pair of jeans (all you girls know what I'm talking about). My husband and I both rapidly gained a ton of weight cooking for each other and eating out all the time and I had a beautiful little boy. I stuck those jeans in the back of the closet for "some day". I got them out yesterday just to see how far I was from squeezing into them. I thought they would go over the hips and the booty but I didn't figure they would zip. To my surprise they zipped, they fit and they fit better than they did when I was at 118 (love losing inches even when the scale doesn't move)!!! In the last few months I have hardly lost any weight but I continue to lose inches. I'm on the last leg of the journey and will try to make it to my goal...no scrap that...I WILL make it to my goal but I'm not putting as much thought into the number on the scale as I am into the inches I will lose.

Have a great day!

    Hope you modeled for your husband in those "new" jeans! Great job and thanks for providing the rest of us perspective about this whole process. It is more than just about the numbers on a scale!

    I have a pair of these too! Well, two pairs actually. One pair is the only pair I ever wear, and I stopped wearing them. The next time I put them on, I want them to fall off. The other pair are of course too small, so I'd love them to fit perfectly!
