Teens...oh yes...back in the teens...

Okay, so some of you might understand this where some of you were blessed with skinny genes..but for those of us out there that know the challenges of weight I will have to share with you my highlight of the week.

I went into Old Navy the other day to see if I could find any cute PJ's for my little neighbor, Alexander. I decided to look at pants since lately my first pair of "Long and Lean" Gap jeans were getting a little bit bigger (big smile on my face). Old Navy is having a HUGE sale, so I walked over to check out and see if I could find some pants. To my surprise they had a big selection of pants but none of them were my size, but I did find size 18 and decided that maybe I should buy a pair just to have as my new goal pants. You can image my shock when I got into the dressing room and found that those size 18...YES, you heard me...eighTEEN pants fit me. Now, don't get me wrong I wasn't about to wear them the next day as they just felt a little snug, but nonetheless they fit!

I ended up buying 3 pairs, not because they were size 18, but because they were only $9...you can't beat that! I got in my car and immediately called my parents to share the news, and yes...their were tears. My Dad asked, "when was the last time you remember being that size?" my response with crying was "I don't know, I can't remember".

I guess my next goal will be to stay in those size 18 during the Christmas holiday, let's face it...Christmas is always a time of eating.

By the way...I did wear my first pair two days after I bought them... :)
