16! 16! Oh did I tell you 16!

Went to a shop the other day to find shoes, couldn't resist and went to the clothes. Even went to the Petite area. Being 5’1” I’ve always dreamed of shopping in that section but they’ve never carried “big girl clothes”.

 

 

Found a pair of size 16W pants, tried them on and almost screamed in the changing room.

 

 

They went over my thighs w/out a problem at all. Then up and over my hips w/ease and then I went to zip them up—had to hold my breath but they zipped up.

 

I haven’t been able to zip up a pair of size 16 in a long time.

 

 

Let alone shop in the “regular” area of the store. I think it was 3 years ago when I did.

Oh it put such a smile on my face.

 

I didn’t buy them but it just made me feel so good and brought it to my face that what I’m doing it working!!

 

I went home and found my 18W that I had put away. They went on like butter, they were a regular pant, not one with stretch either. I wore them the next day to work and so many people committed on how I’ve changed and ask “what are you doing”.

 

I explain to them that I came to my senses and have been watching what I eat

and exercising twice a week.

Thank you all for responding!

I'm so happy! I'm still smiling!

Tomorrow is my b-day and my kids took me out for dinner tonight. It was seafood but I didn't watch what I ate and I know I'll be working to take off the weight next week but it's ok, my 2 DS (12 & 11) had a blast buying the family dinner tonight.
