TOM definately coming.... but who knows when it'll hit!! I'm just glad I haven't stalled or gained yet...

The Background
Ever find a pair of jeans that fit you just right...... oh the feeling! This is a huge challenge for me cause as I've grumbled about before.... I have huge thighs and butt.... along with that I have a fairly small stomach and waiste. When I wear normal cut jeans, the stomach is really baggy and the waiste is so huge that it has a 3 inch gape all around ... I can take my pants off without unbuttoning or zipping.... even when I'm thinner this is a constant struggle for me...

The Story
So 3.5 years ago I was losing weight and went shopping with my sister.... yes of course at a fat store. I was desperate for new jeans and imagine my delight when I found jeans that fit me perfectly! In fact I was so excited about these jeans I called my sister a few days later and got her to go back to the store and buy me the next smaller size (18's) so I could shrink into them.... my sister gives me the jeans with a card that says 'do not open this card until you get into the jeans' ya, you know where I'm going with this don't you.... needless to say I was never able to open the card cause I never shrunk into those babies!!!

So on Saturday before leaving town I was thinking about my clothes in the shed... but they are for when I hit the 180's.... then I remembered I had a bag of clothes (of who knows what) under the stairs.... I go down and start rooting around..... yep there they are... staring me in the face...... "The Jeans" As I look at them I'm sure I can hear dramatic music in the background.... I quickly remove my clothing and see if these things will fit over my hips... guess what.... They fit perfectly!!! Oh what a feeling!! So 3.5 years later I open my card and read the encouraging words from my baby sister... which was really sweet.

I hope that wasn't too long all for a stupid story about jeans, but it truly was a defining moment for me and I wanted to document it...
