It has been five years since I bought myself any new clothes. Since my divorce, I spend any extra money I have on my kids and making sure they are pimped out in good clothes and shoes, and well, I manage. My favorite around the house attire is comfy pajamas, and when I am working out hardcore, I sport around the house in my gym clothes. lol
I have this pair of Camo Jeans I bought 5 years ago and I couldn't fit in them. I hadn't realized that I had gained enough weight that I had gone up a size or two. I had just gotten out of the hospital and spent alot of time in baggie pj's. I have those jeans, the tag still attached hanging in my closet. I want to wear them so bad!
I know it's going to be a little bit before I can get into them because I still have some weight to lose. about 32 lbs left to go before I can wear them.
However, the other day I went shopping for Monkey. She is two now and really growing fast and it was time to get her a new size in clothing. while I was at the store I noticed they had Jeans on sale.
I pondered for a moment... " should I?".... I know I had lost about ten pounds and I wondered how much it made a differance in my clothing size. I am still in a size medium, but my old jeans were lose and getting baggy and my jammies are getting baggy to. So I knew I had to have at least dropped half a size.
I grabbed a pair of jeans and ran to the dressing room. I crossed my fingers and tried them and OMG! They fit perfectly.
I went from a size 12 to a size 9/10!!!
SO, I am excited to say I have dropped about 10 lbs, dropped 2.5 jeans sizes and bought my first NEW pair of jeans in five years!
What's cooler than that, is that was three weeks ago. I started exercising again this week, and I have lost 3 more pounds. I tried the jeans on this morning and they are lose!! YES!!!!!
