Blue jeans no longer give me the blues!

Back in January, when I started MFP, I had a pair of jeans in my closet. Not the most attractive pair, but still...they were too small so I thought that they would be a goal jean. In January, I couldn't even get them over my hips. Put them away and forgot about them. In March my pants I could wear in January were feeling big, so I dug out my ugly mom jeans and tried them on. They went over my hips but I lacked about 3 inches in buttoning them. April, I could button them but I looked like someone had shoved my lower half in a sausage casing and twisted in the middle...bulges every where...No where near attractive. Today, I tried them on. And they fit...comfortably. So I wore my tacky dark blue mom jeans with pride and will continue to wear them because 1. They fit!!! and 2. They are the only pair that fits without a belt!

    That is awesome!!!!

    A similar thing happened to me today, i tried on a pair of my roommates jeans (that are 2 sizes smaller than what i have been wearing). I did not think they were going to fit over my hips bc my hips are much wider than hers and so is my butt lol. but i pulled those jeans on and could zip them just fine. i was so happy and surprised with myself.

    Took the words right out of my mouth. Don't wear ugly jeans because they fit, reward yourself with some awesome ones! You deserve it! Congrats to you!
