for me to EVER get into a size 8 again... LOL :smile: Today I bought a pair of slacks and a pair of jeans in a size 8! No, not a 14, not a 12, not a 10, but a SIZE 8!!!!!!!!! I'm sure others have experienced this -- picking up a pair of smaller sized jeans, looking at them and saying, "Yah! In my dreams!!!" and then DISCOVERING THAT THEY ACTUALLY FIT!!!!! All the exercising and learning of new eating habits paid off in this one moment of pure delight!!!!! :heart: Forty years ago I had ONE dress that was a size 8; the rest were 10's. This is so TOTALLY UNBELIEVABLE!!!! Then I went out and got a haircut, because I thought this new body required a new hairdo! :happy:

    Congratulations on the new you! It does feel great to fit into a smaller size you haven't worn in years. Who would've thought that diet & exercise would actually work?!?! LOL.

    LOL Awesome job! I had some size 8 clothes in my closet for years that my husband wanted me to get rid of. I kept telling him that I'd fit in them someday. I'll never forget the day when that happened. My 10s were getting way too big and I just decided to start trying on clothes. They all fit. What an amazing feeling!

    I know how you feel. I put on my 1st pair of size 10 jeans, EVER. I still can't get over it. I had a hard time even getting them to try them on! The sales people must have thought I was up to something! Honestly I felt like grabbing a pair of 10's was something to feel guilty about. Like, who do I think I am, thinking I could fit into a size 10! Sometimes it is hard to get your head around the fact that your body is changing. Even after putting on the 10's, I found myself wandering into the plus size section! Someone told me that there was a sale at J Crew, and my first thought was Great, but I can't shop there. I guess I could actually check out that sale now! It is funny how hard it is to accept the benefits for something I am working so hard for!

    You have been working hard... be proud
