Found out we have another wedding to go to. Since I have released this weight, I have nothing to wear for a wedding. So went shopping today and found a beautiful top in a size 14. Then I saw them. Sitting right there, waiting for me to try them on. The ever wonderful knee high boots. Mind you, for YEARS!!! I have tried to fit into them. But my darn calf's are just to big, even the wide calf one. I asked the lady what size they have and low and behold they had my size. (11W) She brought out a pair and I thought to myself "This is going to be interesting..." Ohhh my goodness, they fit. They FIT!!! Plus with room to spare. I can't believe I am finally able to wear them and look good. Then (get this) she convinced me to try on skinny jeans. I was like there is no way, I can look good in skinny jeans. I'm a size 18 lady. Don't get me wrong, it works for some people, just not me. She said just try them and see what you think.... Ok, went into the dressing rooms and tried them on. Boy oh boy they are snug but hey, that don't look so bad. Came out of the dressing room and the sale lady plus the ladies she was helping said I looked smaller and had a nice figure. So hot damn I bought them. So I shall be riding on cloud nine for awhile. It just bears saying that what hard work you put into it, it will be rewarded.

    Way to go!

    Side note: I'm wearing skinny jeans today that I bought last year (like you, I was skeptical when I tried them on), and they're tucked into high boots. I've had the same issue with calves, and this time they went right on!

    Keep up the good work!
