I want to be healthy.  I want to feel good about myself. But let’s face it:  there’s a big part of this effort that’s all vanity.  I’ve been working toward those elusive skinny jeans–the unbeatable denim that fit so fine you almost walk differently.  It’s part abstract–just the idea of skinny jeans is a nice thought–and part literal–there’s a pair of dark jeans I wore the night before my wedding… and a pair of light jeans my hubby bought me a few years ago that never made it past my hips…

Till now. 

Both pair fit me now.  It’s a great feeling.  I took the lighter ones in yesterday to get them hemmed and just standing there while the tailor pinned felt pretty damn good.  I’ve lost a total of 17.5 pounds now–which means I’m 2.5 from the original 20 and 4.5 from the “official” 20 pounds we pledged to lose… and just 3.5 pounds from being in the 120s. 

That might even top the skinny jeans.
