My Motivation Jeans

Today I went shopping for a pair of size 10 jeans to help motivate me through my last few pounds of weight loss.  I thought the desire to fit into smaller jeans would help keep me going.  Imagine my surprise when the size 10 jeans I tried on FIT ALREADY!  I know I should have bought a pair of size 8's for motivation instead, but fitting into them would require another 10-15 lb weight loss, which would be too much (too much weight loss? huh? is that possible?).  And given a choice between instant gratification and delayed gratification, I will take instant gratification any day, so I bought them.  Here is a really lousy photo, taken with light reflecting off a very old, distorted mirror.  But you get the general idea:



The last time I was a size 10 was 28 years ago, when I was a 27 yr-old new divorcee with nothing but a container of yogurt and a bottle of wine in her refrigerator.

I'm not just bragging about me.  I was a size 24 at my heaviest (at 5'2").  If I can do this, SO CAN YOU!  So do it!

Jean, even with the distorted mirror you look fantastic. I just can't begin to tell you how marvelous you look girl!

                    It's not what you gather, but what you scatter 
                        that tells what kind of life you have lived.
