One of those moments when you want to cry.

Tears of joy. Dern tears of joy.

I had just read about someone getting into old jeans and I figured I would dig out my pre-baby skinny jeans just to see how far I had to go. I had just gotten into these jeans when I got pregnant in '04. I wore them for a few weeks, falling in love with the slightly tight butt-lifting effect they had. I got pregnant and that week I could no longer wear them. It broke my heart. I gave them to a girlfriend who took them home to Conneticutt, she promised to treat them with love and make sure I could get them back if i ever needed them. Well, they arrived in the mail earlier this spring with 3 other pairs of jeans she had low carbed her way out of. She went from a beautiful size 12 to a knock out gorgeous size 6 and is a Callanetics maniac! I love her. Anyway... When I got these pants back I couldn't even get the zipper to pretend to meet the other side. I tried these pants on a week or so before Easter, couldn't breathe when I manage to zip them up. Today, those bad boys feel glorious in all their butt-huggin' fit. I burst into tears. They fit, granted I had a muffin top along the edge, but certainly wearable. And no amount of money could get me to take these jeans off right now.
I can't help to think back to when I was 276 on a 5'2" frame. So round I couldn't put my freaking arms down on my side. I hated shopping for clothes. I hated how I looked in anything. I would shop for purses or shoes constantly because I didn't have to try and fit my butt in those. And to be able to put these back on today is worth more to me than any potato, breaded, sugar concoction I can dream up. ****, I'm still cryin'!
Anyway, thanks for all the support and the endless question answering I have gotten from everyone here. I really can't tell you how much it means to me.

Congradulations on getting in that size 12. Thanks so much for sharing your story. It is so encouraging to hear others getting into smaller sizes. BTW I really like the callenetics stuff too. Someday I'll be able to do it all correctly. Makes such a difference.
