Shorts
The last time I lost a lot of weight (10 years ago), I remember being very happy when I fit into a particular pair of shorts. They were shorts from Mountain Equipment Co-op, light green, and used. They were my partner’s. I can still remember how pleased I was when I could button them up. I remember wearing them a lot.
I kept those shorts though I haven’t been able to wear them. I tried them on a few weeks ago and they fit a bit snugly, but they fit. I felt “almost there.” I’ve just tried them on again, and they fit perfectly. It’s the most curiously happy feeling – being happy in a pair of shorts that are probably 12 years old.
I then tried on all my shorts, and they all fit perfectly. Our weather hasn’t really been shorts weather yet, and today isn’t necessarily going to be either. I don’t care. I’ve got a pair on and I’m wearing them.
I know I still have a way to go to reach my goal, but at this point right now, I feel good. I feel accomplished.
