Perhaps you’ll find this odd, but I’m so excited because my pants literally fell off!

My favorite pair of jeans that were too tight to wear a year ago, are now so big on me that I have to wear a belt for them to stay on. Now that’s just too fantastic.

I even noticed yesterday that my shoes are kinda big. I wonder if I lost some of the fat on my feet? Hmm, I don’t know!

So I decided to write a list of my own.

Its actually quite cathartic to find this and read over it again. Its sad and invigorating all at the same time. Its sad to me because I’ve listed here so many things that shou… Continue

I'm so excited! I've lost 25 pounds so far and today I decided to try on a pair of jeans that I love, but haven't fit me for the past year.

Well, they fit now! It just feels so good to be noticing a difference.
