Milestone!

A little over a year ago I had an apartment fire that destroyed literally everything I owed. My fiance (boyfriend at the time) and I had to jump out of our second story window in the middle of the night to get out, with only the clothes on our backs. As you can imagine it was a slightly stressful time for the two of us, but we made it through. Because of the fire we naturally had to go clothes shopping, and being a teacher, I had to shop for dress clothes and regular clothes-- not a fun task when you have limited time to buy an entire new wardrobe. Well, long story short, I bought several pairs of dress pants and jeans. Over the next few months following the fire I began to put on some more weight since I was out of my workout routine and we were frequently eating out. We were in the process of working on fixing up a house to make it livable and were unable to buy groceries. So all those new pants I bought became snug, and I was eventually unable to wear them, even with only about a 10-15 pound weight gain. Well, this morning, I tried them on just to see, and although the dress pants are just a smidgen too snug to wear comfortably, I can actually button them!! AND, one of my favorite pairs of capris fit comfortably and are not the slightest bit snug! *Happy Dance* It never ceases to amaze me how losing just a few pounds really can make a difference in how you look and feel. Good luck to the rest of you, and I hope you all keep at it to reach those milestones!!
