So, recently I discovered I fit into a pair of black pants I had purchased some 18 months ago & had never fit. Now I'm wearing them (however snug they still are) and reminding myself of the small changes I'm making.
Yesterday, I grabbed these jeans (thus the 'blue') out of my closet that my mom bought me for Christmas last year. A little history: When I tried them on last year I couldn't even get them over my butt. She said, I got them cheap, don't return them, it won't be worth it. So I held onto them.
Fast forward to this week: my favorite jeans (okay, really my only jeans) now have a small hole in the butt and the thigh and I'm starting to panic. I'm not buying a pair of jeans right now, I'm just not. So, grabbed the jeans out of the closet that my mom had got me, but were light years away from fitting. Got them up! Yay. Buttoning them would prove much more of a challenge. However, the good news is that I'm close, I'm very close. I could see myself being in the jeans within the next 3 weeks perhaps!
So what does that mean?
It means my black & blue challenge to myself is on! I will be wearing those jeans in 3 weeks and these black pants that I'm wearing right now won't look like they are straight out of a 'paint the pants on the girl' store.
I may even snap a picture of myself in the pants/jeans. [By the way, that's not me in the picture, it's a stock photo from the internet, not that there's anything wrong with the picture or the woman, just clarifying!]
Anyone else have a black & blue challenge they are up for?
so far i don't have any problem with my jeans. I think you should start to loose weight.

I am losing weight! Thats the point...Im losing weight and fitting into clothes that I didnt fit into previously. My favorite jeans have a hole in them because they are 21/2 years old...they are big on me, they didnt rip because I was busting the seams, but rather because I wear them all the time.

Online Doctor, what a rude comment to make. Have you ever heard the advice, "if you don't have anything nice to say, then don't say anything at all"? I also like "what goes around, comes around".
Momma, I think it's amazing that you are so close to achieving your goal. Life is a journey and it certainly helps when you set small, achievable goals along the way. You go girl! Please keep us posted.

it is important to be true to yourself whatever happens in your life, And it is also important to be aware of what was happening in our world.
