I cried at the store today

LOOK AT ME! I am in a pair of size 16 jeans!!!! I was feeling adventerous today at the store and decided to try on a smaller size. So I scooped up a pair of size 16s and headed off the dressing room prepared that they would be very tight but hoped to at least get them up. I stood and stared at the mirror for a few minutes trying to screw up the courage to just do it! Next thing I know they are on, zipped and button without laying on bed, grunting or holding my breath....and NO MUFFIN TOP! So I turned around and inspected all angles....yep! I can wear these bad boys in public!!!

I came out of the dressing room and the lady said "did you find anything?" I put my head down and said "they fit" and started to cry. I told her how just a blink of the eye ago I was in a tight pair of 20s and how I hadn't been in a size 16 since well before my 10 year old son was born. She said this is the hardest journey of your life. Then told me how she had lost over 100 pounds 20 years ago and has maintained within 10 pounds since. Then she hugged me.

I am as high as a kite right now! Cannot wait til the thrift store opens in the morning so I can go get me some new threads!!!!

That is so awesome.. I have the same exact thing happening right now.. I wore 20's which should have been 22's but could not bring myself to buy them.. That was in MAY .. This morning I tried on a pair of 14's they were a little tight but I could zip them button them and they were on.. YAY for us.. This is great !! Congrats

you look amazing

the best shopping trip when you get into something that you werent expecting to
and the woman who helped you at the dressing room knows how hard you
have worked and she would have been so pleased for you!!

great work on getting these jeans on and I'm sure you will be in an even
smaller size soon!!

good luck on the rest of your journey
