Default Got into 15 year-old shorts!

It might not be that big of a deal, but I just have to share this.

I kept a couple pairs of shorts from when I was skinny 15 years ago I've been trying to pull them over my arse for the last five weeks.

Yesterday I got them up and buttoned! I got the size 8 zipped and the size 7 buttoned!!! Can't zip up the size 7, but hey they're on, buttoned and I only need a smaller crowbar to pry them back off! The size 8 is way too tight to wear but it is so comforting to know I can get them zipped without a pair of pliers.

This feels sooooo good!!!!

Thanks to everyone on this forum. I joined it many years ago when I was deeply depressed and desperate about my weight. It took until last year to find the right diet for me and come back on here. I am grateful to share my journey with you.
