Size 8!

I just got back from the mall where I purchased my first pair of size 8 jeans!
I haven't been a single digit size in at least ten years! I've spent most of my life in 14-16 and was a REALLY tight 18 at my highest weight of 236. (I refused to shop at the big girl store, so I squeezed my fat butt into those stretchy Old Navy 18s until they ripped and I finally had to face facts: Either lose some weight or go buy some new pants at Lane Bryant--thankfully I chose to lose the weight!)
This feels like a MAJOR accomplishment to me! My ultimate goal is to get into a size 6 and it suddenly feels like I might actually make it. For the longest time that's just seemed like some abstract number, not something I might actually be able to attain. But now it's only ONE SIZE AWAY! I know it's going to take some major motivation and hard work, but I know now that I can do it!
Edited to add: I just started a six week challenge group on the Motivation and Support board if anyone is interested in joining! We're setting mini-goals for six weeks starting today! Anyone looking for some support is free to join us!
