I just put my jeans on!

I stopped smoking and started gaining weight about a year and four months ago. I put on about fifty pounds in one year! I like to say I got into an eating contest with myself, and I was winning. Anyway, I think I purchased one new pair of pants because they were a necessity, but otherwise I would not allow myself to buy new cothes because it was like a sign of complacency. It was like conceding that that was my new weight. So I've been wearing sweats and sweatshirts for as long as I can remember in the recent past with the exception summertime when I couldn't get away with it. And today after four months of eating less, I got my jeans on comfortably! So it was only one pair, and I know they won't all fit yet, but oh man, am I excited!! Thanks for reading!
