Look ma! I'm wearing jeans!

Tonight, on a whim, I decided to try on jeans from the jean drawer. The jean drawer is a very special place where there are jeans that I dream of fitting back into. They've lived there for more than 2 years.

When I went shopping for clothes, I wouldn't let myself buy jeans. It was my goal to get into the pairs I already had.

Today is the first day they started to fit.

I cried. Putting on that pair of jeans made the work of the last 6 weeks really real. Really really real.

Happy amazed "I don't know where they came from" tears.

This day is better than the ones I saw those numbers drop on the scale or the inches drop from my waist.

I'm on my way. I'm well on my way.
