what a wonderful feeling….

I am feeling like a million bucks tonight. I went grocery shopping tonight and decided to stop at the local K-Mart store next to the Grocery store. I was wandering around the store and decided to go and try on a size 22 jeans because my current size 24 jeans have been feeling really loose. I really didn’t go to the store to try on clothes let alone a size 22. Well my husband waited outside the fitting room door I tried on the first pair of 22s, and they didn’t fit. I was like well I guess I am just not ready for a size 22 yet. Then something inside me said try the other pair on, which I did. And much to my surprise they FIT!!! I could fit in a size 22. I just about cried in the fitting room! I can’t remember a time when I could fit in a 22. I don’t even think that in highschool I could fit in a size that small. I am in shock and on cloud nine! I know to some it might not sound like a huge accomplishment, but to me it means so much!

I decided to buy the jeans, of course how could I not! And I have decided to wear them on Easter when my whole family is over at my house and ask each of them what they think! I know jeans is not a typical Easter outfit but this year for me they will be! I am so proud of myself and how far I have come!
Buddies, don’t give up!  If I can do this then anyone can do this!!!!

Have a great night!!!

    What a wonderful feeling indeed, and you bet all of us can relate…ANYTIME we fit into something smaller, it’s a HUGE accomplishment! Kudos to you, keep up the amazing job and in due time your size 22 and 24 will be a thing of the past!

    Thank you for sharing your accomplishment and joy with me. I need it as a reminder that the goals needn’t be huge or on the scale. It is hard, and we can do it.

    I’m in!
