OMG!!!

I am totally freaking out!!!!

I am sitting here (yes, sitting!) wearing something amazing...

I have on... SIZE 14 JEANS!!!!

And they are NOT stretch jeans! Gloria Vanderbilt boot cut size 14 (non-stretch) from 4 years ago... a bit stretched-out from earlier wear, I'm sure, but omg, omg, I am in total shock.

You see, size 14 is the size I wore in high school and most of college. It is the size that I am most familiar being. It has been my "goal" size many times (and was this time, before I lowered it to 10/12 --didn't want to "settle").

I am TOTALLY comfortable sitting in them. DH says they look great. I'm sure I'll have to lose another 10 pounds or so before I can attempt this with NEW size 14 jeans, but holy crap, am I ever happy.

I just have to add:

I am TOO heavy in pounds to be wearing these things -- historically speaking... I am about 20 pounds too heavy to wear them, except I CAN this time. I am in total shock that I weigh almost 230 pounds and can wear them.

The scale is a liar.

WOOHOO Changing!! That's awesome! I know what you mean about the scale and historical weights in clothing...I'm about 25 lbs heavier than I was when I last wore my HS jeans! Gotta love Atkins.

Tomorrow I want to go over to my Mom's house...I know there is a closet there with some more of my HS clothes...and I want to go try them on. At the very least, my prom dresses are in my grandmother's sewing room...and I want to go try them on too! LOL

I love it that you're sitting there in your size 14's, you're rockin girlie!
