So this morning, as I was getting ready for work, I was trying to find something to wear.. Now I do know some guys who take longer to get ready than I do, but I have always been a tom-boy, so I don't generally take time to do the make-up and hair and what not. But since I have lost over 65 lbs lets just say that I have lots of clothes that don't fit and find a self confidence that has me putting a little more effort into my appearance.
Anyhow, I have had this pair of jeans in my closet that I bought on sale, that were a couple (that's putting it nicely) sizes too small. God only knows how long ago. They were my 'inspiration jeans'. Not necessarily the size I want to be, but a 'stepping stone' to lose weight. Anyhow, these jeans have just sat in my closet for a very long time. I am talking years! As I put on my other jeans this morning and grabbed my belt, since they are too big (and I refuse to buy more until I lose some more or stay at this size for a while) I saw the jeans just hanging there and decided why not try them on.
Expecting disappointment, I took them off the hanger, started sliding them them up my hips. I'll admit, I almost stopped at one point, when they seemed like they might be a little snug when I got to my hips (as I have been wearing pants about 2 sizes big for the last month and a half). They slid into place. Still skeptical that I could actually zip them up, I started the zipper up the track, only to find that it slid into place smoothly!
My day has started off GREAT! I will be in a great mood (at least until someone pisses me off). I feel an amazing amount of confidence in myself.
Is this just a girl thing to buy a pair of pants or outfit as inspiration to lose weight? I'll be honest, until they fit, for the most part, they really annoyed me and got pushed into the back of the closet really quickly! But today, it really made my day!
