I have these jeans in a 20W and really like them. I couldn't find anymore at my local Kohl's but one of my awesome friends found two pair near her and shipped them to me. Today I finally tried them on and voila!
I feel great and I actually like what I see in the mirror. I'm confident in a way I haven't been in a long, long time. I'm smaller than I was when I got married and I'm currently the weight I was for most of the time Jim and I dated! I haven't worn these size jeans in like 7 years or so!
Contrast that though with the reality that I'm still 250 lbs. Anyone who would see me on the street or otherwise have no context for how I used to look would likely (or at least be more apt to) judge me. I am still obese, I still have obvious weight to lose, etc.
Since I want to remember NSVs along the way I'll share these as well:
(1) I had my legs crossed UNDER my desk yesterday at work. What?
(2) My Husband and I are planning a big trip to Hawaii this Fall that's part (belated) 5 year anniversary trip and part post-surgury hurrah! I know from trips past that some of the excursions have weight limits or require a lot of physical activity. I just started researching more specifically yesterday and both the ziplining and helicopter we want to do you have to be below 275 and 250 lbs respectively (I'm at 250 but by October I should be good!) I'm still a little nervous about some of the physicality but I want to at least try!
