50 for 30 - Week Skinny Jeans

A few years ago, I knew I had gained weight when these size (none of your business) jeans did not fit anymore.   Stubbornly, I had worn them much longer than I should have and I had the muffin top to prove it.  One day though, I stopped wearing these jeans, and put them in the back of my closet. 

These jeans have survived numerous closet cleanings.  Every time I saw them I would think, "When I lose the weight, I'll wear those size (none of your business) jeans again!"

In October, I tried those jeans on as motivation, and I've been trying them on every time I lose five pounds.  When I got discouraged, I pictured myself looking all awesome and fantastic in my size (none of your business) jeans.

So one day last week, I tried on my size (none of your business) jeans...AND THEY FIT!

Well, let me clarify. 

If by "fit" you mean I was able to get the jeans buttoned after inhaling very deeply, and once I got the jeans buttoned I couldn't technically exhale or really move my legs because of the tightness of the jeans.....then yes, the jeans "fit."

In the brief seconds that I had the jeans on, I proudly looked at myself in the mirror. 

I had done it.

 I was wearing my size (none of your business) jeans, and one thought was running through my head. 

I don't even like these jeans!

They did not even look good.

The only thing I really liked about the jeans I had been dreaming of for three years was that they were size (none of your business), and no one else can even see the size tag!


Talk about a let down!

I'm still trying on the jeans so I can see how much I'm losing, but I've decided now that sizes in clothes is relative.  From now on, I'll just focus on what looks good on me.
