NSV!!!!


This morning . . . just for kicks. . . I decided to try on my "thin" pants. These are the pants I used to wear in 2000-2001, when I was living in the Bahamas for work, working out all the time, and feeling good. I had them in a 10 and a 12, and I kept the 10 through the years because they were a symbol to me of where I'd been . . and where I would like to be again. I've tried them on here and there -- last time I barely got the zipper up, and they were seriously tight. But, this morning?!? THEY FIT!! They fit!!!!! I am blown away!!! This is one of the most major NSVs I was hoping to reach on this journey. I can hardly believe that it happened!! Isn't that amazing?!? And to know that you are going to get to yours, too?!

Oh and I'd love a trip down memory lane on what it was like living in the Bahamas! That in itself is inspiring. Where in the Bahamas?

Funny enough, those pants aren't that cute anymore, so I didn't wear them today. But, just knowing that they fit (!!) that was really incredible! Vanessa, you are totally going to get in those honeymoon jeans! Can't wait to read about it!!

Heather, I lived in Nassau for 13 months. It was fantastic -- I played a ton of tennis, got Scuba certified & advance certified (and did a lot of diving), learned how to ride a horse, and had almost every friend & family member down to visit at least once. What a year! I feel very lucky to have had that opportunity, and I really loved the client I was working for -- great company.

Congrats! This makes me wish I would have held on to a few of my non-plus size clothes when I purged during last years spring cleaning.

Congrats on the fabulous NSV!
