To zip or not to zip

Ladies, I have entered a new stage in my diet and I am so excited. I have been living in knit pull up pants or leggings for so many years. Now, I am wearing zip up the front, side and behind pants. I never thought I could wear them. I am just so excited . I had four surgeries on my stomach three C-sections and one for a tumor removal ( 40 pounds) in my abdomen. I would tell my daughter I was uncomfortable and lived in them. I truly never thought not once would I be able to zip up any pants and now I am. I am still working on this waist loss. For so many years I told myself that I would never wear "that type" of pants ever again. So I had knit pants in every color to make do. Never believe never............. I may not be a size 14 or 10 but I reached what I considered an unreachable goal. Zippers that can be zipped...on me. So if you have an unreachable goal or you think it is unreachable never take your eyes off or let your determination go to reach it. It is this reached goal that keeps one on track for the bigger picture! All the weight you want to lose. the road is long to reach my goal but I continue reaching these goals the unreachable ones it will make the journey worthwhile and a little bit easier.

WAY TO GO POOKIE!!!!!!!!!! That's absolutely fantastic! My father always taught be to say 'never say never' cause you just don't know sometimes.

What would my goal be? To be able to tuck a white shirt into a pair of jeans and not be self-concious of my belly.

Someday!!

Cheers
