These pants are what (in the back of my head) drive me to continue on this sometimes crazy journey.. The back story (what, I gotta explain, don't I?! lol) is really short, but totally important in my memory.. In 2003, I did my first (and only) successful attempt at the Adkins diet.. I can tell you the month/year of this because my brother graduated from high school in late May 2003.. and boy did I look HOT!! This was the time when I got down to my smallest (178 lbs.).. My brother then went into the Army Reserves and a few months later (October 2003) we went to Myrtle Beach to see him graduate from boot camp! :)
I was so excited because I was actually able to go and see the beach again.. It was wonderful! Plus, shopping on the Army base! Anyone who is a Armed Forces girl/guy will know how awesome the shopping centers on bases are.. it's like discount shopping with designer labels.. haha.. so I got these jeans there for like $25.. And they fit, for like 2 more months.. and they haven't fit since..
I will fit into these jeans again.. and others like them of course.. So congrats, Syl, for fitting into your "something".. hopefully I will be joining you in putting up current pics of me in my old pants.. :)
Hi Sarah! thanks for stopping by my blog and the "I understand" comment. Sometimes it feels like there is no one around that understands anymore! I haven't gotten bored with WW yet, I'm not sure if you follow any of Roni's blogs but she's great and I get recipes off her cooking blog all the time. http://greenlitebites.com/
