JC Penny was having a big sale this weekend so I decided to go buy a few pairs of pants and jeans since mine are getting to big and I have two business trips coming up. I can stand to be a little sloppy running errands or working in the office but when I am at work events (especially going to meet with my new boss) I want to make sure I look put together.

Anyway, before I left I went through my closet to see if I had any smaller sizes and I slipped into my 14 petite slacks AND THEY FIT!!!!!!!!!!! I tried on the pants I wore to my sister's wedding rehearsal three years ago AND THEY FIT!!!!!!!

With what I found in my closet I only needed a pair of black slacks and jeans and I found them both at JC Penny in a size 14!!!! Just a few short weeks ago I was a solid size 18. I can't believe I am already down to a 14!

    Unreal! You must have worked so hard, and I hope you're extremely proud! Keep up the great work :D I'm so happy for you!
  • I had these jeans that my sister in law bought me. After one wash they didn't fit anymore and then a few months later they really didn't fit anymore. When I started losing weight they were my goal jeans, I remember fitting into them the first time, and then giving them to a friend at school because they were too big to wear anymore. What a great feeling!! I didn't even care that they were $90 jeans!! Good Job and keep it up!
