NSV-New jeans

I have a pair of goal jeans that I bought several months ago, size 13/14. Initially, they were too small to get on, then they would button but I couldn't wear them out the of the house, and eventually they fit just about right. After keeping them in the dresser all summer, I wore them out yesterday-and spent the whole day hiking them up! I could pull them up and down without undoing the button or zipper!

I went back through all my jeans and the "goal jeans" were the smallest I had. I decided to go buy a belt to get a little more time out of them, but when I got to the store I couldn't find any, so I decided to try on some new jeans-I ended up buying a pair of size 6 jeans!
Size 6! When I started I was a size 22! I keep a pair of my starting jeans in the closet to remind myself how far I've come, and when I tried those on this week, I got both legs into one leg!
