I cried when I went to buy new jeans today!!! I have been wearing 20/22.....after 42 pounds and many inches....I was able to slide on a pair of 16s!!! I stood in the dressing room for about 15 minutes wearing the jeans....I even called my mom to let her know what I was doing. She was proud of course....but I could not believe it!!

After trying on several pair...because I told myself....they must just run big.....but after several pair.....I had to let myself believe I could wear a 16!!

I am no where finished with my goals....but it does feel good.........

I bought one pair of jeans....and told myself....not to get comfortable....because I am on a journey...and this is only the beginning!!

Thanks MFP for all your help and support!!!

    Thats Wonderful, I am waiting for the day I can say the same thing, but for now I am in an 18 which is a long way from the 26 when I started. Go ahead and celebrate you victory soon the day will come and you can post you experience with your size 14s.
