Three Eighteens

This sure feels like a victory to me.

I don't think I've been in anything size eighteen since I was still in my twenties (I'm 47). Until last night.

A friend who's also going to WW has gone down from size 18 to size 16. I've gone from 24 to 20. She gave me a bunch of hand-me-downs (mostly pants, lots and lots of really nice pants) in size 18, insisting that they probably fit me now and definitely will soon.

So I tried them on last night. Some are closer to fitting than others, but guess what: Three pairs fit now! Including one pair of light-weight light blue pants that will be great for summer, and one pair of light-weight black pants, which I really need but decided to put off buying until school starts, hoping I could get a smaller size by then.

I can't believe I fit into ANYTHING in size eighteen! That is certainly a motivation ;D ;D ;D

Go, me!

Just knowing that the size you're wearing is one size smaller than it used to be makes you feel good, doesn't it?

Good for you!

Oh,yes ;D I think these are the first hand-me-downs I've ever had.

Funny thing is, the friend was so worried I would be offended by her offer....
