Today marks one month that I have been diligent in my weight loss quest.  Looking back on my one month ago self, I can say I am really happy not to be that person and all of the sacrifice and tough choices I have made have been worth it.  I don’t have any grand delusions that I am going to be really skinny… but I know I am going to be fit and healthy.  And that is a lot considering where I started.  I know I have a long road ahead, but I am letting today be about reflecting on how far I have already come.

Today I wore a pair of pants that were soooo tight, when I had sat down they literally rolled down my belly (yes, belly… I haven’t had a stomach/waist in years).  Today, they actually fit comfortably and are a dress size smaller than what I had been wearing when I started.  In addition, nothing rolled down when I sat down!  They stayed right in place.  For a plus size person like me… clothes staying where they are supposed to stay is a major win.  Now… for the next challenge, getting into pants one more size down– that would be amazing… I have not worn size 12 pants in a few years.  I have a whole wardrobe of size 12– suits I purchased over two years ago that didn’t actually fit me when I purchased them that still have tags on them.  I am going to fit into those suits again… hopefully sooner rather than later.  For now though, my size 18/16 pants are almost getting to the point that I really cannot wear them any more they are so baggy.  I can’t wait until I am to the point that I really have to put them away and stop wearing them.
