A small motivational victory this week that I thought I would share.
When I first started on my weight loss plan 16 months ago, I purchased 5 new pairs of pants 4” smaller in waist size that were flat front and without the comfort fit waistband that gives an inch when bending over like I was wearing at the time. That’s like going down 6” in waist size.
When I got them, I tried them on and could hardly pull them up halfway past my knees. I knew it would be a long time before I could fit into them but hung them in my closet for motivation.
On Saturday morning, I decided to see if I could get into them.
They fit great! Not even a little snug! Woohoo!
Wearing non pleated pants again without a comfort band makes me feel like a whole new person. It feels like years of accepting being that size have melted away and I am approaching normal again.
I promptly bought a half dozen dress shirts 3 sizes smaller than I am now and hung them in the closet to inspire me to fit into them eventually too. :)
