The scale doesn't always tell the truth

Today was another day of achievements. Not measured by pounds, but by pants size and the number of Xs on a label.

Today I tried on some jeans at the thrift store.  Size 44.  They fit.  Just think 6 months I was wearing a size 56 on the verge of a 58.   I have not fitted into a size 44 for a very long time. I am just 1 size away from being out of the big and tall department.  

I also was able to get a new coat at the thrift store.  It has been the first time in a very long time I have bought a jacket with only 2 Xs .  It is still a little tight but it works. Nothing that won't change in the next month.  

It is strange how I am not as light as I have been in the past, but my sizes are lower then they have been at this current weight in the past .   I am learning I can't judge my progress by weight alone.
