-and they fit!!! We are both blue collar workers. I've had this pair of gray Carhartt pants that my Mom bought me for Christmas 8 years ago sitting in my closet since I opened them. I told her the size I thought I was then, but they were too small and I was too embarrassed to say anything. Anybody who buys work pants knows they aren't cheap, and I couldn't part with them because I felt so guilty about them not fitting. My weight has fluxuated drastically for the past 10 years. I'm 5'3 and typically more muscular, but in January 2024 I was 203 lbs (I doubt that was my peak weight either, I figured if I didn't look at the scale then it wasn't a problem). I was 180lbs in May and I randomly woke up one day and decided I was done being obese. I researched, started CICO, started moving more and going to the gym to build my muscle mass back up. I'm 156lbs right now, with a goal of 140lbs.
So. This morning I went to try and put on what I thought were MY 36x32 gray Carhartt pants only to find that they were actually my husband's 34x34 Carhartt pants. I realized something was amiss when I had a foot of extra pantleg. Then I realized what they were. And I have been tickled pink about it all day. I thought putting on my own pants would make me feel good, but accidentally putting on an even smaller pair of pants and finding they fit is just 😗👌My husband noticed right away and was like "Hey, aren't those mine? Hey, wait! Those ARE mine!!" and gave me a high five.
I have had a hard time seeing my weight loss, but this tells me OBVIOUSLY I have lost the weight. So I'm celebrating this not so small victory today. Thanks for reading, I hope you also discover an amazing non-scale victory today!!
