Exciting news worth a celebration for me---I have worn jeans the past three days--all day!!
For those of you who are not around me on a regular basis, this may seem to be a strange thing to be excited about. But...I don't think I have fit into my (largest) jeans for months and months...and it's sad to say, I am not exaggerating. So, I am darned excited!
A week or so ago, I tried one pair on, and they fit but were a little too tight for my comfort level when sitting. Thursday afternoon, a number of colleagues were discussing wearing jeans to our meeting on Friday. I decided to give my jeans another try....and they were just fine!
I wore a different pair this weekend, too. Again--just fine! Even for a three-hour trip in the car after eating lunch!
I am not a fan of buying jeans (any clothes for that matter!) It is so difficult to find jeans that fit. I have a narrow waist in proportion to my large behind and fat legs, so finding a pair to fit in all three places is no easy feat. Therefore, when I grew out of my jeans (UGH!), I refused to try to find ones that fit a larger me.
So....here's a cheer to wearing jeans that now fit once again! (And here's hoping I will have to shop for smaller ones in the near future.)

Congratulations! I have a similar problem with finding jeans that fit (any pants, really) ... been wearing mostly dresses for a while for just that reason. So happy for you that you've gotten to the point where they not only fit, but are comfortable!
I am so very proud of you! And the jeans looked great! ~Linda
Congrats!! That is definitely something worth celebrating. Keep up the good work.
Congratulations!!!!! Those little things mean so much, keep up the good work.
Great job, Corrine! You are doing awesome and I am so proud of you! I haven't been doing well on my journey. It's been a very stressful few weeks around here and I don't do well with stress, as you well know! I am hoping now that Lent is here I will get my motivation back. You are definitely an inspiration to me. Keep working hard...you go girl!! Proud of you!!
