I am happy……..

woo hoo!! I tried on a pair of jeans that I don’t know the last time I wore them, but the last time I tried them on I couldn’t barely get them over my hips let alone zip, now they fit me comfortable!! During my break today I went to the thrift shop and picked up some more jeans and stuff, hubby wanted me to get some clothes that fit, he says my clothes are to baggy!! I don’t want to put to much money into clothes until I reach my goal so I figured this is my best bet!

I have been thinking about how much I have changed in a little under a year since getting serious about losing weight! When I first started, I got so upset with my husband when he began telling everyone we worked with how good I was doing at losing weight. I didn’t like him talking to people about my diet. I know why, I was afraid of failure! I always started out diets in the past with a gung ho attittude and then it fizzled out and I gained it all back and then some. I had no confidence in myself that I would succeed! Now, I love it when my hubby brags about how good I am doing and how great I look.  I always did everything for everyone at home before and put myself last, now I make time for me, and let things slide that I never would have before. I figure my housework will always be there and if hubby bitches to much, oh well than maybe he can just jump in and help more. I can’t do it all, and I need to do this for me!

I hope everyone is having a great day! Have a good one!

    Congrats on getting in the skinny jeans!! WHOO HOOO!! You know - that is SUCH a good idea, buying clothes at the thrift shop for those in-between sizes!! :)

    That is great news about your jeans! What a great thing to happen to you! And I love your attitude about how you have to make time for you and how the house cleaning will always be there. Because it’s true. You’re health will benefit from the weight loss. You’re health doesn’t benefit too much from dishes being done on time every day. Keep up the great work!

    Hi, So happy for you. I just notice that my long skirts are getting longer. Going to take a day for hemming. I wear loooong skirts and tunics because of leg brace, but I don’t want to get caught in front wheels. SUDDEN STOP. Have a great evening. Hugs, Marge

    That’s great! There’s just something about jeans! So hard to find ones that you love, and a great sense of well being when you get old ones zipped up. I’ve got about a million pairs of jeans, and let me tell you, once I fit in them all, I’m never going to outgrow them again! Keep up the good work and make hubby pitch in with the housework anyway. He lives there too, right??

    FANTASTIC! I love that feeling when you get back into old comfy jeans. I’m there on a couple of pairs but i’ve still got 3 more pairs of my favourites that I am determined to get into.

    It’s nice to hear that hubby is really giving you the credit you deserve too. Keep up the great work.
