NSV - Sometimes it's more than a weight issue

So, yesterday I posted (although not many people saw it) that I have been having a really hard time losing these 8-10 lbs. It's been a bummer.

This morning, jean day at the legal office (yay!), I pulled out a new pair of jeans that I had purchased when I could *just* fit in them and knew I needed to lose a few more lbs. I am pretty limited on jeans (probably 'cause I'm a miser), so I wanted to avoid wearing the same pair the 3rd week in a row (such a girl, I know). I tried on these new jeans and they fit! I hardly had the "muffin top" that I had had when I bought them....

Now, I still haven't really lost much weight, but I must have lost inches! Yay! I didn't have a chance to measure myself. I just am wearing those jeans and enjoying it. :)

.... remind me of this tomorrow when I'm bumming 'cause I didn't lose any weight. lol

    when i could finally pull on my old jeans it was so much more exciting than seeing the scale numbers drop. it meant so much more and now you can see that as well. congrats

    ditto!!
    My NSV today - because I am not getting on the scale this week - I squoze (my made up word, but I love it ) my fat butt into a Junior size 11 jeans today. I purchased them about 3 years ago, but never could fit into them so they have been sitting in my closet with the tags still on them. The only problem, they are super low rise and no stretch so I am dearly hoping they will stretch out a little bit as the day goes on, lol!!
