Last night my husband took a trip into the attic to get out the dreaded winter coats:frown: . While up there he asked if I wanted him to grab a bag of clothes with a pair of jeans on top. My heart started to pound and my hands got all sweaty... "Yes!" :happy: I said knowing exactly what jeans they were. He brought the bag down and I anxiously pulled the jeans out of it. My American Eagle button fly size 14s... the ones that I cried when they were too small to wear:cry: . I took a deep breath, dropped the pants I had on and EASILY slid my long lost FAVORITES :love: up and buttoned them with EASE:love: ! I cried again only this time with shear joy! I hadn't worn them since before getting pregnant with my EIGHT YEAR OLD son:blushing: !

Another great thing that came of this??? I put the winter liner in my coat and it ZIPPED... COMFORTABLY:drinker: !!! I haven't done that in close to TWO YEARS:bigsmile: !

Have a great day all! If someone told me that these two things would be even remotely possible at the beginning of the summer I would have laughed...and probably grabbed a donut! My my how things change when you put your mind to it!!!

    High Five! And, yes that's the great thing about this site! Sometimes our "real life' friends don't want to hear our stories (especially if they're struggling with weight loss themselves). NSV stories are always welcome here!

    Enjoy those jeans now, before they become too BIG for you to wear!
