A New Me

One of my first goals that I’ve wanted to reach is to drop a pant size. I’ve been wearing size 18 for quite some time now. I hate trying on clothes to begin with, but trying on pants just royally sucks.

For the past couple weeks, I’ve been having issues with my jeans. It seemed like every time I got up or took a few steps, I’d have to yank up my jeans ‘cuz they felt like they were falling off. I was hoping that meant that I had actually dropped a pant size and wasn’t just in between sizes. All I know is that I was getting tired of pulling up my pants all the time. And I’m sure I looked like a royal dork doing that all the time.

I went to Walmart this morning for some stuff I needed, so I figured I might as well try on a pair of size 16 jeans in the same brand I’ve been wearing. I grabbed a couple different styles/colors and headed to the dressing room. Pulled them on … hey, this just might work. Buttoned them up … OMG, can it be? Zipped ‘em up … holy crap, they fit. I am now wearing a pair of size 16 jeans. They are a little snug in the thigh, but not by much. They actually fit comfortably.

You have NO idea how happy I am about this.
