    I went shopping...

    in my CLOSET!!

    So my "fave" pair of jeans (well, the ones that i've been wearing lately because they're the ones that fit and i like them being loose) are getting HUGE on me (i plan on giving them to a friend who's on weight watchers)...and literally I absolutely can NOT wear them without a belt, otherwise they just literally fall off - They are a size 17 in juniors...

    So I decided to finally go ahead and try on an "old" pair of 13's that I have in there (i actually have like 3 pairs on 13's i'm waiting to wear) - and what am I wearing COMFORTABLY right now? That's right! They slipped on perfectly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    They're not tight at all - and are a perfect fit!

    Now i'm just waiting to get back into all of my size 9's (about 20 more pounds, which is around my goal weight) - as i do still have a few pairs of slacks and 4 or 5 skirts i'm dying to wear again...and i can't believe it - but I actually DO believe and KNOW that I WILL wear them again!!!!

    it seriously almost makes me tear up every time I think about how easy this woe really is and why i DIDN'T listen to the doc last year - but oh well - i'm doing it NOW and for the rest of my life - seriously - i absolutely can not ever see myself going back to any other way of eating. i absolutely can not do it. i've FINALLY FOUND what works for me. After 20 years of dieting - literally 20 years (i swear i started when i was 10) - i've FINALLY found that "magic pill" so to say. me+atkins= (lol)

    Awesome! Keep trying on too-small clothes, because with Atkins, you can be much smaller than the last time you were the same weight.
    People who say it can't be done, should not interrupt those doing it.

      Congrats, I have been doing a lot of shopping lately and it feels great. I gave away my 36's that I bought last month to a friend. I'm about to ditch my 34's soon, despite gaining a pound this month. Weight lifting does make you gain weight, but it's the right kind. I have lost an inch in the middle while gaining a pound this month. I haven't been in 32's since high school, but I'll be there next month! Keep up the shopping, it'll end this recession!

        Terrific - great news.

        Perhaps it is just my warped sense of humour but I couldn't help a little grin at the fact that you are giving your 'too big' jeans to a friend who is on Weight Watchers!

              I had the same grin, so our sense of humor is warped in the same bent!
