I got motivated a couple of months ago, picked up some thrift store pants, could barely get them up & fastened, tight everywhere in the legs and butt, lots of overhang in the midsection. I had already quit wearing the biggest, stretchisest jeans I have, but didn't think these pants would work yet. Today, tried them on, loose in the legs and butt, I mean LOOSE, very little pooching out. YEAH ME!
That's great! Sometimes some thing as simple as putting on clothes can make you feel as though you're heading in the right direction. Great achievement.
