Hello all,
Okay so last night I finally mustered up the courage to venture into the deep dark recesses of my closet and actually pull out 2 pairs of jeans that I havent worn in like 5 years...actually to be honest I dont even think they fit the day I bought them as I am sure that I never tried them on in the dreaded changing rooms with 3 way mirrors...you know what im talking about. So anyway, I started out my diet at 304lbs in January...I am 5'9" so my excuse was that I carried the weight well...barf...as of this morning I am 252lbs. So at my heaviest I was getting tight in a size 24..my size 22 jeans I can almost pull right off me now so I thought I would gain the courage to try on the dreaded SKINNY JEANS. I was so afraid...which sounds ridiculous..but I had to rationalize with myself that if my 22's are that loose then I must be at least able to fit into a 20 or EVEN with gods will a 18? I sound like such a moron...but even as I put my legs in I was terrified of failure...what if they dont fit? What if I am kidding myself and all this weight loss means nothing and I still am not at the stage where I can start changing my clothes and the way I look. Even though within myself I know I look totally different now then I did in January.
Needless to say, I took the plunge...and....THEY FIT!!! I was screaming and crying like an idiot. I fit into my size 20's which by the way still had the tag on them...and I was so pumped by that ..that I tried on my flared pair of old navy low rise 20's....which fit like they are an 18. BUT THEY FIT TOO. THey are a little snug but I couldnt believe that I got in them and that is the first time in my entire life that I have ever had on low rise jeans. My goal is to get to a size 12-14. Im sure this sounds silly to a lot of people with less weight to lose but it is a moment that I was really proud of my weight loss and I was so pumped that I would see and fit into results. So for anyone who needs encouragement....THE SKINNY JEANS ARE WORTH IT!!!
Hooray for skinny jeans
