Skinny Jeans that Could

I woke up this morning and Jason had a great idea: to make me some pancakes. I smashed up some fresh strawberries that I just got Friday. They look so good, I'm glad a have a few left over!

This afternoon, Jason had another bright idea (enter sarcasm). He wanted to clean out my closet. I hate cleaning. I really, really hate cleaning. I haven't cleaned out my closet since we moved here (about 3 years).

I was starting to get hungry, so I made us a mid day snack. I made an orange smoothie (from my co-workers orange tree). In the mix was orange zest, orange juice, the rest of the orange, vanilla yogurt and a frozen banana. So good!

It took a while to finish the cleaning, so I made some snacks. We had some left over garlic bread in the fridge, so I popped it in the oven. I love this stuff, too. I could eat the entire loaf in one sitting, if I let myself.

I cleaned out so many clothes and shoes and purses I haven't used in years. One thing that we found was my "skinny jeans". Every girl has a pair of these in their closet. These were tucked in the very back hiding from me, so I didn't get depressed every time I saw them. It came to a point that I forgot about them, until Jason pulled them out.

Of course, he had me try them on. I warned him that if they didn't fit, I would be in a bad mood and depressed for the rest of the day. He didn't care. It ended up making my day. THEY FIT!!!! I haven't worn these jeans in about 7 years. Sorry I cut off my head in the picture, but believe me, I have a huge smile on.

I am seeing results. All my sweat, some blood, lots of tears, pain, fatigue and complaining and all the above has paid off. I can't believe that this is all working out how I planned. I am so much healthier and happier. For everyone out there that needs to take that first step, it's very difficult and there will be times when you think you can't do it, but it's worth it! Just keep thinking about the final outcome and how happy you will be. You can do it and you can keep it off!

Shoot me an email if you have any questions about my story or need advice, I am always here. I'm not a professional, but I can help in any way needed!
