Blue Jeans

I keep reading about people having goal pants, Molly's green dress hanging in her closet, people wanting to wear a specific outfit.  All I have are two pairs of blue jeans.  The size and style I wore when we moved here four years ago.  They were actually lose on me four and a half years ago.
We moved here, I had a job with a very, very mean boss.  I would break out in hives from stress, have horrible headaches, stomach aches and gained 50 pounds in a year.  Wow!
So tonight after a nice hot bath, I rummaged through the closet until I found them.
I put one leg in, then the other.  Pulled them up and they slid over my thighs.  Great!  Then they slid over my hips.  Wow!  Then I tried to button them - success!  And zip them.  What?!  They zip up?!  *HAPPY DANCE* *HAPPY DANCE* *HAPPY DANCE*  Wait - what is that sound?  Are they ripping?  No!  That my friends is the sound of air between my leg and the blue jean material!  They are not skin tight in the legs!
I took a look in the mirror and it is amusing or frightening depending on how you look at it.  Definitely hug the toosh, but that is not a bad thing.  Belly pooches out over the front - that is a bad thing.
So...my goal is to be able to wear and travel in these jeans comfortably by January 13th.
I CAN DO THIS!!!

Congrats!  How much of a weight difference between now and when you wore them comfortably?

Congrats to you!  Way to go.  The goal posts are in sight now.  I love hearing your sucess story.  I am on my way.  28lbs down but lots to go.  I too will get there!  Happy dancing for you!

Honestly, I am not sure about how much of a weight difference there was.
I think I will start trying them on every week or so just to see how I am doing! :O)

Well done!!!

It is a great feeling to get into clothes that you haven't worn in ages!!!

Woooo hoooo!

That is so very cool!

There's something about a favorite pair of jeans that makes you feel great.  They go with everything and are comfy (if they fit) and you don't have to worry about them getty wrinkled or dirty.  Jeans are also my way of measuring my weight loss other than the scale.

Aw what an awesome story! When jeans surprisingly fit it's always the best feeling. Then you're like "you lieeeeee jeans" but nope there they are all buttoned up and fittin good.

Keep us posted on the journey with the jeans! 

Thanks!  Just tried them on again and they feel pretty good. :O)  I think I am going to need a new pair of jeans for the new year! :O)
