I'm doing it the right way this time around slow and eating…

  • Just cleaned closets out for the 2nd time. Got rid of all the 18-20 down through some 14's. I'm in 12-14 as they all fit differently. Didn't think I'd ever be smaller than a 14 really. I completely skipped 16 when I went to get some new pants at Christmas. Was so tickled that 14's and a pair of 12 jeans fit! 14's are…
