So I haven't lost as much as I'd hoped to by now, but 13 lbs in three months is pretty okay too :)

Something really amazing happened the other day. I was in American Eagle trying on some jeans. Before I started losing I was a size 8. After losing about 8 lbs, I'd gotten down to a 6, and now some things I need a size 4 in (I haven't owned a size 4 since I was like, 12). Anyway, I was trying on a pair of capris in a size 6, and they were too big...but they were out of that style in a size 4. So I thought, what the heck, I'll see if I can even zip the size 2.

The size 2 jeans fit. Perfectly. Like they aren't uncomfortable at all.

I own a size 2. I never thought I'd say that.
