Progress is awesome

Well since I was eliminated I hadn't had a gym membership (until a few days ago that is).... but I maintained 90% of my new eating habits.  Generally I was feeling like I was gaining weight, but wasn't quite sure because I was afraid of the scale.  

Today when out shopping, I found a huge clearance on jeans  $5 each.  So I tried some on, Well my 12's are loose so I grabbed a 10.  My heart was beating hard, the hope I was feeling was exhilarating... how fantabulous would that be if  they really did fit.

They were tight... really tight... but buttonable!  Not something I would wear outside that dressing room unless it was 1982 and I was trolling for some free beer!  But in my world this counts as progress.  Now for the sake of my poor old body I did not by these, you see from the beginning of this process I decided I would not by the next sized down in clothes till they fit me right and comfortable.  

So I put them back and smiled on my way out the door,   this is the first time I was ever happy about not fitting into pants!

yeah! go me!
