Never so happy to try on clothes that were too tight!

Yup, thats what I said!

I went into our local TJ Maxx - I had some time to kill and decided to look at some cute dresses and jeans. I must have grabbed at least 15 different things and headed into the changing rooms.

It is, usually, at this point, I think 'F*%$ this' and go home. Things have been better since I left my size 12's behind though,,,,then 10's....now I am in 8's. So I am trying on a really nice pair of jeans....they zip up and look nice, but are really too fitted. I start getting bummed out. I try on a tailored dress, again, just a little too tight. I start thinking I have been back sliding.

Then, as I hang them up to go back on the rack I notice they are both a size 6!!!!!!!

:noway:

I bought them both and smiled the whole way home!

Funny thing is my scale has been stuck. for ages. I don't obsess because weight loss is only part of my journey, but wowee my body is changing!

    That's a great story! Congratulations on the size change! I really do believe that's the most important thing anyway... not the weight but how you look and feel.

    That must feel amazing! I am just to the point of needing to go down a size in jeans and am so excited! I think when I am just a couple inches smaller, I will be in an 8!
