Fitting in

Nov 13, 2009

To clothes I never thought I would.

Just a month ago size 20 pants were too tight at the knee and calf. Cutting in, feeling like sausage casings on my legs. Some I could not pull up past my thighs. On the pairs I could pull up, they'd fasten at the waist just fine, but yeah too tight for wearing, I had to peel them off my legs.

One pair in particular, fitted black boot cut slacks from old navy (I don't know if you know what boot cut means when you have big old giant legs, it means "cuts off your circulation at the knee" is what it means) did not fit as of A WEE K AND A HALF AGO. And with an 11 day run of gaining three lbs and no downward trend in my weight I was beginning to think I'd never fit in them.

Well guess who is wearing them now. I am wearing SLACKS. Black, boot cut, size 20 slacks. And they fit like they were made for me. I can not believe that these pants I stopped pulling on my body because they would not go any further than the tops of my knees now go all the way up, fit comfortably and button. HOW CRAZY IS THAT?!?! Super crazy.

Add to that waking up and having the scale tell me 268 twice (I get on twice for super!accuracy) and well, I just can't believe it. I'm 18lbs from being the LIE weight I gave to the DOL for my driver's license WHEN I WAS 16. That's right I lied and told them my weight was 250 when I was 16 because I was over that weight already.

Each day is just amazing and worth it.
