25 and Size 16

I have been overweight all of my life. This is in no way my "I am skinny now" post, it's just that I finally lost enough weight to go down a size of pants! My 18 and 20's have been rapidly getting too big and finally last weekend I had the last straw when I couldn't even hide the excess fabric under my tee shirts. I went to trusty Old Navy to try on some jeans! I tried on the 18's first because I thought maybe my old jeans were just stretched out too much or something, I was pleasantly surprised to find that they weren't even close to a good fit! I had Kat grab me another pair. In a different cut and the same thing, too big! I was hesitant to even try the next size down not wanting to be discouraged. She grabbed me a 16 which I haven't worn since I was 17 and I did t for a minute think it would fit well! But thy fit like a glove and I did a little dance in the dressing room and Kat have me a big high five! I am so excited to have a pair of jeans that fit well! The number on the tag doesn't "define" me but it sure makes me feel accomplished! 25 pounds down, lots more to go!!
