So I was going through my little sister's room earlier looking for my hairbrush...and just out of curiosity I tried to fit into one of her pairs of size 9 shorts (right now I'm ranging from size 14 to 16)...and I got them all the way up...and buttoned and zipped them..it wasn't even that much of a struggle!
GRANTED, I was muffin topping all the way around, and they were cutting into my thighs so deep that if I had left them on, I'd probably have lost all circulation in my legs...lol....but still, they look so small when I hold them up...and I managed to get them on!
It's still going to be 20 or 30 lbs before I could wear them in public I think...but still, I GOT THEM ON! When I first started my journey, they wouldn't have gone past my knees...lol

I fit into a size 4 Calvin Klein dress surprisingly well, and I'm between 8-10. I kept checking the tag, because I couldn't believe it. It was snug, but I wasn't busting out of it either. I almost bought it just to say that I own, and fit into, a size 4 anything, lol.
Thats great!!!! Im finally able to get into ALL the jeans in my closet again and it really is a great feeling to put on something that you couldnt even get past the top of your legs no less actually button them!
I can't wait until I can get some smaller size pants. I think right now I could stand to get a size smaller for my legs... but my waist is still too big.
I have my own old pairs of size 9s from just two years ago that won't go past my knees I can't even imagine how awesome it must have felt for you, congrats!
I thought of another related "yay me" moment from last week. I've had this dress in my closet for 3 years now. The summer I bought it, I was at the smallest I've ever felt. I had more self confidence that summer than ever before. It fit perfectly then, and it's seriously the cutest dress I've ever owned. Well after that summer, it was too tight. On a good day, I could stuff myself into it, but it wasn't pretty. I couldn't stand getting rid of it since it was so cute, but it was also depressing to see it in my closet and not be able to wear it. Well just out of curiosity, I tried it on a few days ago, and it was actually loose!! So I am smaller than I was at the point when I had the most self confidence, I never weighed myself back then. So now, I imagine it will actually be too big to be cute which is kind of a bummer, but I'll still keep it for motivation
You just motivated me to get out my old size 27 Seven Jeans to see how far I can pull them up so I can retry later down the road.
I'm thinking I'll make it to my knees....lol
I can't BELIEVE I'm that small...
I can't even imagine how awesome it must have felt for you, congrats!
