Skinny Jeans!

Remember when I lost those 3lbs randomly a week ago, I was very surprised. Since then I really haven't gotten in the my "going out" clothes, just stayed in my workout clothes cuz I had no where to be. Well 2 days ago we went to the park as a family. As I was getting dressed....my only pair of pants where HUGE on me and my shirt was even bigger! I think I lost more inches than I did weight. I couldn't believe it! Due to hormones and rushing to get to the park before sunset, I kind of cried cuz I had nothing to wear! As I stood there in my room with a few tears running down my face, I quickly had a flashback to before losing the weight. I would cry and cry and then not end up going out cuz I didn't have clothes that fit or that I looked too fat in. I soon started laughing and just enjoyed the big clothes for once. What a feeling! Today is my 5th wedding anniversary with my husband! I begged him to take me clothes shopping! He took me out last night. I was very picky with finding the right clothes. I knew I'd be in these clothes longer than the last ones I had just bought 3 months ago. I found 4 shirts that are beautiful and one pair of pants. I know I've said this before, but before I started running I wore a size 12 pant. 3 months ago I bough 2 pairs of jeans at a size 7. One pair was a "Curvy" jean...made for people who aren't just STICKS. I've got curves. These pants where a little tight, but I figured I'd lose an inch and they'd fit perfect. Well, eventually they did fit perfect....and then they got big....and now they are huge. Kind of cool! Anyway, back to the reason of this story, my husband took me clothes shopping last night and I tried on a pair of "skinny" jeans (the actually style "skinny jeans") I brought back a size 7 and a size 5 for wishful hoping. I tried on the 7 and they were huge! So...I tried on the 5....PERFECT! I bawled. (Man, this journey is sure emotional hahahaha) What a WONDERFUL, FANTASTIC, SUPER-AWESOME feeling! NOTHING beats that! Fitting in a size I wore in high school!

I recently joined the facebook world again. I took a 9 month vacation from it. I'm so glad I got back on and shared my journey on there. I love the feedback! Not only the "good jobs" or "you look great" but more the emails I get saying how my journey has inspired someone to start their journey again. I cry every time I read an email. I think knowing that is just as rewarding as losing all the weight I have. It really is an awesome feeling! Thank you to all those who have emailed me. I created this blog in hopes to inspired someone! I didn't know it would touch and help so many!

Much Love! <3
