The small victories

Ladyeliah

Hi all,

I just had to share the victory I had last week. I got this cute new dress for spring, and it was going to be 80 degrees in Boston, so I decided to pull it out of the closet early. Of course, my office is 60 degrees ever since we complained that it was too hot in the afternoons, so I had to pull out my tights as well so I could make it through the day.

I hate tights. They are awful, horrible, mind-crushing things. I have two pairs of sweater tights I bought for work this winter that don't fit despite my fitting into their little sizing charts. But last week I took those tights and started putting them on, ready to fight my usual battle to get them over my thighs, and damn if I didn't get them on with very little squirming around.

Yes! I finally beat them!

Has anyone else had that moment that's only super-exciting to yourself?

Yes, when I realized I could pull my jeans down without unbuttoning them. :blushing:

Yes! Thursday it was also hot in Michigan and I pulled out a pair of capris that I bought at the beginning of last summer. I was in a hurry and bought my "normal" size without trying them on. Got them home, put them on and had major muffin top! I wore them to work on Thursday and they looked and felt great.....and I got compliments on them as well. YEA!

Last week my fiance and I spent the day at Epcot with a group of friends. With Florida's temperatures already hitting the mid to high 80s, I was "forced" to wear shorts. I pulled out a pair of khaki shorts that I love, but dreaded wearing the last couple years. They fit over the thighs, but were a wee tight in the butt, and the waist would cinch in, giving me the dreaded muffin top. I would cover the extra flesh flaps with an oversized shirt, but I'd be uncomfortable with a tight waistband digging into my middle.

Well, lo and behold, those shorts slipped on smooth and silk, fastened as easy as you please, and actually HUNG on my hips a bit. A month of watching my food intake and weight-lifting has whittled my middle!!

I didn't share the victory with my fiance (I don't want to bore him with my weight loss saga), but I did a happy dance in the bathroom, and spent the entire day walking around Epcot in a pair of shorts that I looked awesome in!
