My victory is small compared to others...just to fit same clothing that I wore 15-20 years ago. I have to remember as I age,...to extend that goal...make it 15-25 years ago.
I'm with you here. I know that I weigh more than I did when I started seeing my BF again 10 years ago. At that point, though, I was very depressed, and financially broke, so I was really, really thin -- never exercised, drank too much, ate too little, no muscles whatsoever. Too thin. But, I had bought a gorgeous dress to wear to a special event back then. I thought I would never ever fit into it again once I started riding. But, I just tried it on -- and it fit! So, I just finished a 430-mile weeklong tour and can still fit into my little dress. Life is good.
