The 15 Year Old Pants

I have been working on losing weight and getting back in shape for the last 10 months now. Nothing drastic, just watching what I eat and starting to do some exercise like jogging and strength training.

I have lost about 25 pounds now and I feel a lot better physically.

For the last 15 years or so I have had a pair of pants that I use to wear sitting on the back shelf of a closet because I couldn't fit into them anymore. When I first bought them I would wear them all the time because they were so comfortable and I liked the look. I quickly grew out of them though when I started working from home and they went from comfortable to the point that I couldn't even get them past my thighs. I thought about giving them to Goodwill a few times but they have remained on my shelf as my "someday" pants.

Well today on a whim I pulled them out and tried them on... and they fit! Not the suck it in and gasp for air fit either but comfortable! In fact I am wearing them while sitting here on the computer typing this.

Of course they are now 15 years out of style but I don't care!
