Tears to my eyes moment

OMG............I was in tears. I decided to try on my hubbies jeans just to see how much farther I've got to go til I fit them. now bear in mind that this is my 'skinny' husband 6 ft tall (well he was when we met but he has put on a few pounds since then, but not much). Anyway, they fit. I cried right there and then. I don't think he realised what that means to me. His size 34 jeans FIT ME, yes, fat ol' me. Well, obviously not so fat any more then huh. Yippee. I am free of my life as a fat person. I have not been this weight since I was 16. That's 26 years ago. Oh boy am I going to make up for lost time. Who cares if I'm not a size 6. I can fit in to his jeans. I've told him, his jeans are for sharing now - I dont' think he's too happy about that hee hee

hubby jeans are a profound wow moment I nearly peed my pants the day that I got my OMG skinny hubbies jeans!!

sometimes i wear my husband shorts, with a pretty scarf around the waist to hold them up AND make them fit and it feels fabulous. ANDI

Oh Ruth! That is an incredible moment! Wow, that must feel just amazing! Did you parade around in them for him to see??? Deanna

Hee hee, I tried them on while we were doing my daughters bedtime. They just both looked at me blankly - bless them, they hadn't a clue what was going on. All I got was, don't think you're going to be wearing them - they're mine (with a laugh). That's what you think buddy is the reply he got! This was after we'd got back from a celebratory meal he'd taken me out for (for the 1 year anniversary!) Yes I know bad choice on his part, but at least he remembered and made a fuss of me all day about it. He's never had a food issue, and has tried so hard to understand but doesn't get it It's great that he is SO proud of me though

awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww how sweet of him to take you out I remember that day...LOL my hubby is pretty big...(not fat but broad) but how fun when I put his jeans on...LOL nope you NOT that fat girl anymore

I know that was a special moment. To finally get to his pants. you always say he is skinny... well ruth.. so are you.. enjoy it.. and steal his pants often so he will take notice.. what a nice thing to do to take you out for you one year... he is a kind and thoughtful man.. you are a lucky girl.. congrats girl

Congratulations! I would never, ever get into my husbands jeans, he is a size 30 waist but the other day we were out looking for shrubs and I was chilly, he offered his sweatshirt. I said that I really didn't think it would fit, but he said try it. Guess what....it fit! I wore it all day!!!! Amy

Awesome Ruth! Fitting into hubby's jeans is such a great feeling especially when it's something you could never do before, loved that day!!! Way to go!!! Hugs Bobbie

Way to go Ruth! Feels so wonderful, doesn't it? Enjoy sharing "wearing the pants in the family", you worked hard and deserve to savor this accomplishment. Jane A
