A Small Change

I noticed today, as I was doing things around the house, that my pants were dragging on the ground. Now, the pair of pants I had on never had that problem before. I generally buy the tall pants in my size because the normal inseam is too short for my legs. I rolled my pants up a bit and kept doing whatever I was doing. Shortly after that, my pants really started to annoy me. It seemed like I was forever dragging the hems and I was doing something else I didn't even realize for awhile. I kept pulling my pants up.

Now why, I can hear some of you asking yourself, is that significant? It is significant because it means that my waist and/or stomach area is shrinking! If I have to keep hiking those pants up and the hems are now dragging, it is because they are getting loose and not fitting me the same way. I don't know about you but I find that pretty exciting! These are regular jeans too, I wore them prior to becoming pregnant with Rhys.

It is a great boost to my self esteem to have some tangible evidence (besides the scale) that this is working! Woo hoo! Now, for the less great news, I didn't do as well as I should have today. I tested my will power and it came up lacking. I got some cookies and they called me all day long. I was only going to eat one, it became two and then the cookies went into the big trash can outside. I can't even have them in the house. How sad is it that an adult woman can't leave cookies alone? I can leave all the stuff for the kids lunches alone so why not cookies? Probably because they were "my" cookies. Well, lesson learned, no lasting damage beyond mortification done.

Here is to more of my pants not fitting soon!
