Around this time last year I bought size 12 petite women’s jeans, going up a size because I noticed my older size 10 pairs were getting uncomfortably tight. I was teetering around 210 lbs, at 5’6. The size 12 pairs were snug and dug into my stomach when I sat down. I was disappointed, of course, realizing that I probably needed an even larger size. Like a lot of other people, I had started gaining weight because of inactivity during COVID—but very quickly. By the end of December and early January 2021, I hit 220. I stopped weighing myself after that. So, I put those size 10, 12 pairs of jeans in the back of my closet and forgot about them. I just wore leggings and joggers last winter and this past spring.
A week ago, I was switching out my warm-weather clothes with cold-weather clothes, and found the jeans I had put away. I got curious about how they would fit now that I’ve lost a bit of weight. I had started my journey to health and weight-loss in April 2021 and have slowly but steadily been losing weight since then. I have lost 60+ pounds since then, but since I had gained weight evenly around my body, I am was bow losing it that way too, and couldn’t see the changes very well.
Well, folks, I NEED A BELT NOW! The jeans slip down my hips now without a belt now! I hate wearing a belt, by the way, so I’ll probably wait another month or two and get new jeans but I was so happy! I couldn’t believe it! I looked at myself in jeans and couldn’t believe that those were MY legs, my thighs, my hips I was looking at! I never realized how depressed not wanting to wear clothes I really liked made me, just because I didn’t like how “obviously overweight” they made me look. Being able to wear those clothes I hid away all those months ago is an indescribable feeling. Truly. I can’t wait to get new jeans now!
