I cried tonight ...

[MINI-Me 196]

In the Thrift Store dressing room. I fit into size 8 dress pants. Not just one pair ... but several. I could not believe it.

The last (and only) time I wore a 8 was a brief moment MANY year ago when I was 17 (when I had just lost 63 pounds). I was a lot smaller then (126 pounds) compared to my ~143 pounds now, but I'm not going to even think about size differences over the years. I am just going to enjoy this.

The point is ... I BOUGHT SIZE 8 PANTS AND THEY FIT ME!!!! Who would have thunk it?

That is FAB! I know I felt great last week when I bought a top 2 sizes smaller than usual, so to fit in size 8 must be mindblowing! WELL DONE!

Congratulations! I know the feeling when you have to try on several pairs just to be sure there wasn't a mistake! The size difference thing is frustrating too. I had to weigh under 120 to wear size 10 years ago. I can wear some 10s now. Of course there were no size zero or 00, back in the day. But fret not 8 is an 8 is an 8 is an 8 today, and that’s where you are now. Hope you shed many more such tears!

Thanks everyone. I have gone from crying to grinning so much my face hurts! :thumbup:

That is so cool! Congratulations! I don't know if I've EVER fit into a size 8 in my adult life! I can't even imagine how wide your grin must be!

That is Great Mini-me. I love hearing stories like that it makes me get so excited to have my sleeve. I can not imagine me in a size 8 though. I would be appy with a size 16 right now. lol. You enjoy it you worked hard for it.

Good for you! That is so exciting and a great motivator for me in the months to come. Size 8 will be wonderful. Congrats again!

Hang on to this and really feel it, right it down if you must. These are the things that can keep us going and can help us want to stay healthy. I am so excited for you!!!!

[MINI-Me 196]

Thanks everyone. It has been a great 24 hours. If I start to feel down as I get to my final goal or on maintenance, I am going to come back to this post. That way I will remember my excitement and all the great support I have from all of you!!!!!!
