I love Fridays! Not only is it the last of the week before I get 2 glorious days away from work but it's also casual day which means I get to wear jeans to work...hoorah!!! I love, love, LOVE jeans so this is always a special day for me. This morning I decided to wear a pair of pants that I haven't put on since before Christmas. As I stepped into and zipped them up, I was half tempted to take them off again and make sure that I was actually putting on a pair of my pants. They were way too big for me! The waist was too big and there was way more extra fabric in the ass than what I'm used to now that Lane Bryant has right fit jeans. I was stunned. I was just thinking the other day that while I've lost 25 pounds, I haven't really noticed a difference in how my clothes are fitting, and then this happens. I was so excited. I didn't have time to change my pants so I just grabbed my belt (so the pants would stay up) and was getting ready to head out the door when I encountered yet another problem. My belt doesn't fit me anymore :( I've had this belt for a couple years now and I love it, however, on the smallest loop (and its not the kind of belt you can make more loops in) it's too big and isn't effective at holding the pants up. All I could think was...SHIT!! My pants are too big for me and now so is my belt. Thank God, I never get rid of anything. Because of the way I'm built I can never wear belts that come with pants. They are always about 1 size too small. Well, last summer I got this really amazing silver belt with a pair of pants. I could put it on and squish myself in. If I didn't breathe I could get it in the first hole, however, it was uncomfortable on the verge of painful. I grabbed it this morning, without any real hope of it fitting and guess what...IT DID!!! I could easily fasten it. I was over joyed. Today was really the first time that I've been able to qualitatively appreciate the quantitative aspect of my weight loss!
Now, I called this morning bittersweet because I am so excited about the weight loss and how positive it is, but it dawned on me that I really only have about one size down covered and then I'm going to have to buy new clothes...ouch. Eh, I guess it's worth it.
Ok, I think that's good for now. I have an new thought to share that I've been toying around with concerning success in a weight loss attempt but I'm to tired to write about it now. I'll most likely be blogging again in the morning. Have a great night all and keep up the good work ladies!

Yay!! I would be so excited if the same happened to me. As of right now, my jeans are fitting alittle more comfortably, I wouldn't say they are too big . . . yet. I hate belts - not sure why - so when I have to start using them it'll be bittersweet for me. Keep it up!!
