what's this....CONFIDENCE?!?!?

Just a little NSV I'd like to share....I tried on a skirt that I bought about 3 years ago and never wore (bc when I tried it on at home I realized that the dressing room mirror had deceived me) and now it's TOO BIG!!!! I tried on the size XL bikini that I bought while it was on the clearance rack at the end of summer last year (it was my goal to lose my pregnancy weight and fit into it by this summer) and now it's TOO BIG!!! So, this sparked my trying on my favorite pair of jeans from high school (yeah, I still have them bc I vowed to fit in them again someday) and they actually made it over my *kitten* and I can button them (uncomfortably...but still)!!!! It's been such a slow process but finally, I am seeing progress and the the real victory here is how I feel....I feel amazing and confident and very sexy again! That feeling means more than anything! I'm only a couple of lbs from my goal weight and have decided that when I reach it, I'm going to continue on my journey to see what my body is really capable of! Thank you MFP friends for helping me finally regain my confidence!!!!

CONGRATULATIONS!!

I gave away 7 year old clothes I had in my closet that I had barely worn in the past few years. If I do not have those clothes anymore, I make myself stick to where I am at. No excuses ^_^

You are so right! It is the way that you feel that makes it victorious!

What a great feeling. Congrats on being only a few lbs away from you goal. You will be there in no time.

Congrats!! I can't wait to fit into the nice, expensive clothes that I have hanging around in the top of my closet. From BEFORE kids...6 1/2 years ago. My favorite jeans that I WILL fit into by the end of the summer!

I'm about to go clean out my closet because I did the same thing and kept stuff VOWING I would get back in it...and I have! It is also great motivation to tell yourself you need to stay at a size to keep wearing those clothes! Such a great feeling...congrats to you!

I was just thinking....I'm so old that if i still had my high school jeans they'd have zippers at the ankles, mom-jean waists and tapered legs. LOL--oh ya, early 1990's , gotta love ya!

Oh, and I think some of those jeans actually had pleats around the waist. For dumb...who would put pleats around the waist, lets all look like we have a poochie pouch. :bigsmile: :laugh:

Thank you everyone! Once I lose these last couple of lbs, my wardrobe is seriously going to double! I have so much stuff that I've held on to in hopes of fitting in it again and I'm glad I'm almost there. Oh and up2me2lose20, that's funny....pleats at the waist does seem like a bad idea lol! That's ok, my favorite high school jeans got worn so much that they don't even feel stiff like denim anymore...they're all soft and floppy and holey lol! But that's when they're the most comfortable!:happy:
