Non-Scale Victory...what I hope will be the first of many!!!

Oct 07, 2011

Yesterday was a horrible sucky day.  If you need proof, just read yesterday's blog post.  I was about ready to jump out the window of my 7th floor office building.  I didn't jump...but I did cry myself to sleep.  However, I am determined to make today a MUCH better day.  I had to ask God to give me the strength and courage to keep moving forward.  And of course, being who he is...he answers prayers....and gave me a non-scale victory!  Just what I needed to life my spirits and keep on pushing on!

Today's non-scale victory:  Fitting into a pair of size 24 Lane Bryant Jeans...a pair of jean without a single thread of spandex.  This is important because these jeans have NO give....they either fit or they don't.  Not just any ole pair of jeans, a pair of jeans that I brought last year and was only able to wear 1-2 times before they were to small.  I remember the last time I wore these jeans...it was December of 2010....and I was leaving the office Christmas party and I remember thinking "dayum these new jeans are tight as hell".  They were promptly tossed to the back of the closet where they remained except for brief "try on sessions" that ended with them not getting up over my ass...and when zipped, created the WORST muffin top ever.  They were officially banished.

Today is causal Friday, the only day I wear jeans to work.  After the events of yesterday, I decided to test that OH theory of "you might be loosing inches".  So I pulled out the banished jeans and not only did they fit....they were slightly loose.  Now...I'd just tried on these jeans maybe 2 weeks prior and they were still a no go.  So I proudly wore my jeans to work today and felt WONDERFUL.  Don't get me wrong...I'm still pissed that the scale is not moving and my singular goal is to MAKE it move....but I'll take this NSV today and cherish it.
