My weekend NSV

So last weekend I went shopping with my mum, who convinced me to try on a pair of size 12 (uk) jeans. I've been a size 14 for as long as I can remember, but after losing 27lb, I decided to go ahead.

They NEARLY fit. I could do them up, but found them uncomfortable. I was quite upset by this, I thought for sure that I'd have dropped a dress size by now. I bought them anyway... A little incentive is always good, and they were on sale, so what the hey.

So all last week I was staying positive - They'll fit eventually after all, and this journey is all about being healthy - but it was nagging at me... when am I going to SEE a difference?

So this weekend my other half an I went shopping for his brother's birthday present. I needed some new underwear, so I hopped into Primark to get some cheap sets (like I'm going to spend money when I'm still trying to lose weight!), and my other half says to me "You need a size smaller... all your bra's are too big on your back now". I was really surprised that he'd noticed to be honest, so I reached for a 34C (I was 36C), and he stopped me again, and said "No, your boobs (te he) aren't any smaller, just your back!"

Long story short, I'm sitting here at my desk in a 34D bra, comfortable and perfectly fitted! How wonderful to have lost back fat without getting smaller! TAKE THAT JEANS! I'm feeling so confident right now, that I Just KNOW I'll be in those size 12's in no time!

Way to go!

I certainly know how you're feeling, i've lost almost 2 stone and haven't noticed much difference in my clothes apart from them looking a little bit better but feeling the same.

I brought my first size 14 jeans, like you they almost fitted but well i'd rather breathe than know i'm in a smaller size!

Great news about your bra though, keep that confidence brimming and your size 12 jeans will look ace even sooner ) WELL DONE!
