My clothes are fitting

When I started this diet, it was mainly because I could not afford to buy clothes another size up. I gained 39 lbs in 18 months and had spent so much money on clothes along the way, each time vowing not to gain anymore weight. No such luck. Totally broke, and gaining even more weight, I suddenly couldnt button my dress pants anymore. I finally stepped on the scale and realized exactly how much I had gained.

Today I can button those pants, I can wear them comfortably, they dont dig in anywhere or give me a stomach ache. Only 6 lbs of 39 down, but the fact that my pants are fitting nicely, even a touch loose, feels really good and motivating!
