I Squeezed My Butt Into a Size 20

Jan 04, 2009

My title of this post says it all!  Yup that right I can wear a size 20.  It was kind of snug in some places but I didn't have to hold my breathe and wear a girdle to button them up.  I even had to wear a belt.  Oh yeah and speaking of belts I can wear a size 44 (men's) and still have to go in a couple of notches.  I'm so proud of myself.  I was kind of unmotivated because I wasn't losing any weight but apparently I was losing inches.

The day I tried on the size 20 (it feels so good to say that!) I wasn't even thinking about it.  I was getting ready to go to the store and needed to find some jeans.  I pulled a pair of pants from my closet and checked the size.  I saw that they were 20's and I just thought I would try to see what progress I had made.  I tried them on and sure enough they came up over my hips and I could button them.  They were snug on my thighs but they fit and I could sit, stand, and walk with no problems.  I ran in the living room and showed my husband.  He was happy for me in his own way.  (You have to know my hubby to really get that statement.)  I was so excited!  I'm still so excited!  The last time I wore a size 20 was almost 8 yrs ago.  I wanted to be in a size 20 by Valentine's day but now I may change that into a size 18 or at least close to it.  I still have almost 70 lbs until I hit my goal of 200 lbs by my surgery anniversary date but I think I'll make it by then or even before.  My greatest cheerleader outside my family says I can make that goal before August.  I think I can to as long as I stay the course.

As soon as I can I'll have to post a picture of myself in those jeans.
