13!!!

shannonbanana

So when I started my first year teaching in September (high school special ed with emotionally disturbed boys) stress eating led me to pack 13 pounds on my 5'2" frame-not pretty.

I lost twelve pounds just before started this site, and have lost an addistional 7, putting me back at 128, a weight I haven't been in years

I decided to go through the dreaded bucket, you know under your bed where you put all the clothes that you think will never fit again. Well friends I now have 13(!!!!!!!) pairs of jeams that fit fabulousy, up from ONE pair when i hit my all time high!!!

Couldn't be happier. Looking foward to shopping for new jeans in a month or two when I drop these last 10-12 pounds and none of these jeans fit. :drinker:

That's awesome. I also have 1 pair right now that fits okay now. But I have atleast 20 pairs in my "skinny box" that I am sooooo ready to get into. I have such cute clothes at sizes 6,8 and 10. I'm currently a size 16 and I refuse to buy new clothes LOL. So I don't have much of a choice but to get back into my skinny clothes.

Congrats. I'm an art teacher now, but when I was subbing I had long term jobs working with ED high school boys as well. It can be a stressful profession at times. Hats off for making it happen though!
