I don't even know where to start...today was the final weigh in for the love myself challenge, and I weighed in @ 197.8! So down about 10 lbs in this 8 week challenge, not too shabby, I'll take it!
Now onto this picture...I went to the mall today, for some reason I wanted some skinny jeans. I went to New York & Company and tried on a pair 18 long and lean skinny jeans, wait for it...too big! I ask the sales associate for a 16 loud and proud, she comes back and hands me a 14 and says they were out of 16's, I laugh but say thank you. I decide, what the hell let's try on the 14's....and look THEY FIT!!! I don't remember ever having a pair of 14's in my closet, the last I remember was being a 16 in high school.
It's hard to get over all of these scale and non-scale victories I have been having lately...I can remember about 9 months ago crying in the lane bryant dressing room because the size 22 pants were too tight, and now I'm crying in dressing room's because I am so happy that 14's fit.
I was always a confident bigger girl, and was never ashamed of my body, but lately the confidence is sky high. Thursday night I was hosting speed dating, and was short about 3 guys. I decided to walk around the bar (by myself) and flirt with boys to try and get them to join. I picked up 3 guys!! I didn't and think twice about, I just went up to a big group of hotties, and laid the old college charm on them and it worked!
Hope everyone had a good weekend, and I'm glad our Hawaii bandsters are safe! You were in my thoughts and prayers!
Can't wait to see them in person!! Way to go :)
ReplyDeleteNothing like a good pair of jeans to make for a happy girl :)
WHOOT for 14's!!! Too awesome! Glad you liked the OBGYN too, makes such a difference!
ReplyDeleteGREAT JOB! Woot indeed. That's always exciting. I think I'm going to get some new jeans when I get home from vacation as well. I'm down to my last pair that fits again.
ReplyDeleteGreat job on the 14's and the loss!
ReplyDeleteWHOO HOO, SO Great for you! I can't wait to fit into my Lane Bryant 14's again... And BTW you are a hottie yourself so it doesn't surprise me that the guys joined right in for you! Great Job Kris, Keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteSo great! I'm edging on the verge of fitting into some 14's so I can't wait to get there! We just recently got a New York and Company near by so I may have to go try them out! :) You are doing so great!
ReplyDeleteAwesome Kristen! For whatever reason 14's seem so normal. I have a pair of 16's that feel a little loose and I can't believe soon I'll get to do what you did.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your loss - you're doing great.
Congratulations Lady!!!! I'm so proud of you.
