Well, I achieved another goal yesterday! I went to the Lucky store and bought myself a pair of jeans!  Even before surgery that was something I said I would do for myself when I lost weight.  I still have 14 more lbs to lose but I needed a pair of jeans and found some I really liked (in a size 29!).  I have never in my life spent that much money on a pair of jeans but it is something I've wanted to do since I was in high school and now I have done it!  What a good feeling! I also ran into the GAP while I was at the mall yesterday and was looking for a pair of Khaki pants. They had some on clearance for $9.59 (that's a bargain at the GAP where normally they are $49.50!) but the only size they had was a 6...I thought "what the heck" and went to the dressing room to try them on and....THEY FIT!!!!  Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought I would have fit into a size 6 anything!  My goal at the beginning of all this was to be an 8-10 and now I own a pair of size 6 khakis!  Super excited and I still have more weight to lose!  The journey has been so great and this has been the best decision I have ever made!
