Sweet Sweet Rewards

The sweetest of rewards is not a candy bar or fried food.. Today my sweet reward was being able to  comfortably slide on pants that I haven't worn in a year. I honestly can't remember the last time I worn any of them- sad, but true..

I organized my closet today and found 6 pairs of dress pants buried at the bottom of my closet..  I decided to try each one one. I paused for a moment, I had a bit of anxiety- what if I was disappointed? what if each pair was just as tight and uncomfortable as I remember them being? I was surprised as I slipped each one on and found that 4 pairs fit VERY COMFORTABLY/would be too big in a few weeks... I also found that 1 pair was too big and 1 pair was just a bit snug. And that was GREAT for me!! I even became excited to plan my wardrobe for the week!

After the dress pants, I moved on to shorts. I hadn't worn any of them for over 6 months.. With anticipation I tried each one on... and each one fit COMFORTABLY!! They weren't snug, I didn't feel uncomfortable, there was no thinking "oh maybe they'll stretch out throughout the day". You all know what I'm talking about~! I even found a pair of jeans that I had forgotten about and they fit perfect!

These feelings were some of the sweetest rewards possible. Its also inspiration to continue on my journey with my head held high!
