a feeling of happiness

My husband and I live 2 hours from both of our parents. This last weekend, we went down. My dad said that he could tell I was losing weight. My in-laws praised about how different I am acting and how much easier I seem to be moving. And, they could tell I had lost! My mom can't ever tell. I've been on here for 55 days now. I haven't stepped on a scale but once. I have a fear of them, which I can't wait to be rid of. It seems like I always thought to myself, "ok, last time I weighed it was this much. well I know I've gained since then, so I'll say I probably weigh less than this much." And then, it was always OVER that!!! I had that again the last time I weighed. So, I really do have a fear of them. Also, Saturday I tried on a pair of jeans that never fit, not even when I bought them. I also hate to try on clothes. But, I thought they would fit since they were a size bigger than what I was wearing. But, no. I bought them in the fall, but now they button! They never did come close to it, until now:D!!!! I really think they were mis-sized. Because normally I wear a size average and they are just a little long. These were a petite and I am now in the process of hemming them. They were REALLY long! So the label MUST be wrong! But, I am working out about 3 days a week and eating very good. I've even gotten into organic foods! One of my best friends, who has always been thin and fit, has been asking ME questions about healthy foods!
