So last night I tried on some clothes that had been tucked away in the spare bedroom closet for the past year. One pair 16w khakis, 1 pair size 16 army green caprees, Size 16 kinda streachy dress pants, 2 pair size 16 dress pants, and 1 size 17 juniors pair of caprees.
When all was said and done the first 3 fit! The khakis are lose enough to wear in public, but the other two pair I am going to have to lose just a bit more to wear out That is still great though! It means I can put them back in my closet, and every morning I open the doors it will be a bit of motivation. I can't wait till I can wear my army green ones again. I love those.
The other 3 pairs I had to put back in the spare bedroom closet, but I am not completly discouraged by that. Three months ago I could not even get those pants over my hips and butt. I remember squaling my eyes out about it. Well last night they came over my hips and rear! Now mind you they are nowhere close to being able to be zipped and buttoned, but I won a small victory.
After that I was motivated to have a great workout at the gym, and even managed to squeeze in all my water for the day. Not to mention I packed a huge salad with grilled chicken for my lunch today!Well I am on my way to take a geology lab test! My last for the Semester! Wish me luck!
Today I am encouraged and feel accomplished.

Yay for size 16!
I wish I were fitting into 16s! I'm still wearing 20s, but they are horribly oversized, since I'm officially an 18 now. I just can't justify buying new pants every few months, so I wait until I'm down TWO sizes before going on another shopping spree. I know what you mean by having them sit there as motivation--I have the cutest pair of black pinstripe pants, size 16, that I can't wait to wear again. I bought them years ago and they were snug. I was only able to wear them for a few months before I "grew" out of them. I put them on this weekend and they're still a tad inappropriately tight. I'm hoping they'll fit within the next 15 lbs.
Be sure you try them on at least every week. Because if you don't, you'll end up missing them all together. If you wait too long, they'll be too big before you know it. So try them on frequently as your little reminder. You're doing FABULOUS!
