Hey! I was over joyed yesterday when I was pleasantly surprised in my closet. Okay, for starters, I've been going on and on over the last week or two about my size 18 jeans not fitting right and even being a bit tight...remember? So yesterday, we were going to get out of the house for a little bit. I went in the closet and stared down the size 18 pants and really didn't want to mess with them. I even thought about putting back on my size 20's just to be comfortable even though they just practically fall off of me. So, I got a little crazy and thought I'm going to try on one pair of 16's just to see how far I can get them up...thinking that this would motivate me to push myself a little harder. Wellllll, you won't believe this because I sure didn't, but I fit into that pair .... it was a perfect fit and comfortable. So, I thought, it's just the brand and how they cut them. So, I pulled out another pair of 16's. They fit, too! What is going on? So, I pulled out all 9 pairs (some pants, some jeans, some capri's) (And yes, I hoard my old clothes...always with the hope I'd get back into them one day) and started trying them on. ALL of them fit perfectly....now, 2 of them were a little tight in the waist but still, they fit. They're all different brands and so it's not just a different cut or anything. I'm in total shock! I'm thinking that my 18's were just a tighter cut brand...I only have 3 pairs of those.
Anyways, I'm so excited over this! I came out modeling for my husband with every single pair. He wasn't surprised like me...he said he could tell I'd lost more. He even told me I had some sexy curves! So, I'm feeling really good right now but I'm just blown away by this. So are my 18's really size 14-16's? Whatever, I love that 9 pairs of 16's fit!!!! Hot dog! I'm loving it!
Congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWahooo! Such an awesome feeling to move sizes!! Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteYAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *DANCE* That is SO EXCITING!!! Look at that! now it's like you just went shopping for new clothes! I hoard my old clothes too with the same hope, and I think that's a great idea! Well now that you are shrinking out of your clothes you can throw away the big ones for good!
ReplyDeletePenny you Continue to absolutely inspire with your journey! SO PROUD OF YOU!!! <3
Thank you all so much! It is a wonderful feeling!
ReplyDeleteMikabelle, I'm actually hoarding the big ones too! And no, I don't plan on ever wearing them again. I'm wanting to be one of those people who can put both legs into one leg of the large pants. That's one of my goals! Ha! So, I know that yes, I do need to rid my closet of all the clothing that no longer fits but to narrow it down to one pair for that particular goal, is kinda hard. I'll figure it out though because my closet is getting tighter and tighter with all the different sizes. lol
God bless! Penny
Congrats!! Such a great feeling :)
ReplyDeleteIt is such an awesome feeling! I love that!!! Thank god we saved some of our old clothing from skinnier days right?
ReplyDeleteThank you JustAGirl and Sheila! It is an awesome feeling!
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, thank goodness I'm hoarder of clothing from my skinnier days! Ha! But I won't be a hoarder of clothing from my not so skinny days. I'm giving those away. Hopefully I will eventually only have clothes under the size of 10 in my closet. lol
Hi Penny,
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year, hope you had a great Christmas! Congratulations on being too small for your pants, that is awesome! Great way to start the year, I hope it will keep going for you and you will soon be in all those littler clothes you packed away. I am starting to get into some of mine now and I am loving it. Have a great day, God bless.
