My Small NSV

I have a pair of jeans that had started to get super tight at the hips. You know, the kinda tight that tells you you're going to need a new pair of pants in a week? That was one of the reasons I joined MFP, I thought, "The next pair of jeans I buy will be a smaller size, I refuse to buy the next size up!" I'm currently size 20/22.

Well, this morning I slipped (yes, slipped-not tugged!) on my pair of jeans and found that not only are the fitting comfortably (without my sucking it all in), but I can also comfortably fit a finger between my waist and the waistband of the jeans!

Small NSV, but it's a start. And it has me looking forward to buying new jeans in the near future!

    That's no small NSV, that's HUGE in my book! Good job and just wait until you try on a size smaller. What a glorious feeling that is!

    Congrats!! I've been shrinking myself and have noticed recently that I'm having to wear a belt with more and more of my pants. I'm holding out for another 10 lbs or so before I actually buy any more pants or shorts, though. But small NSV's are still victories, right? Keep up the good work.

    Way to go! I was in the same boat, refused to buy a larger size! As I got smaller I refused to buy new, with the way the weight was coming off I hated to waste money on something that would only fit for a few weeks. Imagine my surprise when I finally had to buy and went from size 20W to a regular 10. :bigsmile:
