eighteen??!!!

May 21, 2012

This is so surreal.

So, I've been reaching into the back of my closet for all those clothes that I kept "just in case".  In case I lost a lil weight...in case I finally started working out regularly.  In case Spanx came up with some panties that would take me down a size.  Or three.

Amongst these was a pair of Seven jeans, that I found on the clearance rack with no size tag. I had no idea what size they were, other than SUPER TIGHT and UNABLE TO BUTTON WAISTBAND....lol.  So they'd been sitting in my closet for years.  Until my birthday this weekend.  I was reaching to find something to wear that fit, so I tried them on and they fit!  Whoot!  Then I went to the store to find some new ones, and low & behold - I'm a size 18! Woohoo!  Down 3+ pants sizes (at least), 70 lbs and I can see/eel this change.  *does happy dance*

 So yeah, the newly size 18 jeans are a birthday present from me - to me.  I rocked them to a concert over the weekend.  A concert involving a lot of walking, dancing, being out & about and appreciating my new body.  And appreciative of the new lease on life I've been given. How my knees feel.  How my back now feels.  All of which is a good thing.

Yep....18 again.  It feels good.
