I am so excited right now. When I started Keto I was a size 24 in pants. I was so embarrassed by it, and while I'm not anywhere near my goal weight (almost 40lbs down, only like 90 more to go) I just found something out tonight. I fit into my old size 18 pants. I have this box full of nice dress pants and jeans from a previous job that I just kept holding on to (sizes 16&18.) My size 20 jeans have been feeling a little loose, but you know how old jeans can be, they start to get that way.

Well, while I was laying here depressed about how my fiance left me (long story) I decided to take that box down and try on a pair of pants. And. They. Fit. And fit well! Not so tight I can't breathe, but a little muffin top still (whatever!)

So I tired on every pair of size 18s that I have. They all fit. Every single pair!

I'm so excited!! I have a handful of size 16s too, but I never really thought I'd be able to wear these again.

I had to tell someone, and aside from my (ex) fiance no one really understands my lifestyle choice or how exciting it is to make this progress.

Tl;Dr if you haven't tried on a size smaller than you're wearing because you're listening to your inner fat girl, try them on! You might surprise yourself.
