    Tooting my own horn!

    I was cleaning out my closet today and found a pair of pants I used to wear when I began Atkins. I tried them on. I fit into one of the pants legs!

    What a reality check! When I began my WOE, I knew I needed to loose weight but I never realised how huge I was. I mean, one of me now was the size of one of my legs then. :yikes

    So, officially I'm half the girl I used to be (and very happy I am). Thank you Dr. Atkins!

    :joy :joy

    (Next goal: to be a quarter of the girl I used to be!)

        Actually it isn't because there's enough room for me to take baby steps---not that I'll be wearing them to work any time soon....

        The pants are in pretty good shape and it's a nice shade of deep magenta, so I thinking about making it into a skirt. Heck, if I save them until I reach my goal, I might be able to make 2 skirts and a pair of shorts out of them. :yikes
