A little back story, almost 5 years ago I trained for full marathon with team in training, unfortunately due to an injury a few weeks before i was not able to run. During my 4 months of training though i literally couldnt keep weight on. As a treat for all my hard work and because nothing i owned fit anymore i decided to treat myself to a pair of designer jeans. I ended up getting a pair of that were a size 30! Before training i was a 34! I was over the moon the excited.

Well there is a funny thing about losing weight because of running...when you stop running and still eat like your running you gain weight. I ballooned up to my heaviest and have been fighting to lose that weight and fit back into the $180 jeans ever since. This morning when getting dressed i thought what the heck and tried them on. Well they were a little bit snug but not uncomfortable. I have now had them all day and i feel and look fantastic. I have been a little down in the dumps lately because i havent been seeing the scale number move but this small victory is worth any number on the scale :)

    fantastic :) enjoy your jeans!

    I made the mistake (?) of throwing out my favourite Levis a few years ago because I thought I'd never ever fit into them again. I remember even being really embarassed buying them because they were the biggest size in the shop, and I was actually not overweight really then - I'm just tall with massive hips!

    Hopefully you will be able to buy so fancy new jeans that are even more fantastic and in a smaller size :)
