Default Old pants fit again!

I have a whole range of pants that take me back to when I was 19 and a size 10. Today I put on some size 14 pants that haven't fit since 1999, and they zipped up! They are still too tight in the thighs and around the waist to be comfy, but they zipped!! They didn't do that a month ago!

Now I'm glad those jeans are still around. It's kind of like turning back time. Right now I'm wearing some jeans that haven't fit since 2002ish. TAKE THAT, 30s SPREAD!!

Congrats!! I just got back into some old pants too...I'm just mad at myself for not saving them all. You know the drill..you look at your clothes hanging in the back of your closet and say to yourself "Who am I kidding, I'll never be that size again." So you get rid of them.
My daughter is scared I'm going to ask for some of my favorite outfits back...lol
Who'd a thought I'd get my figure back while in my mid 50's.

On Sunday I spent the whole day in the jeans mentioned in the first post. They are loose enough around the waist, but still a bit tight in the thighs. Sitting, standing, and raking and hauling leaves were no problem!
