I found an old pair of jeans today, so I thought it would be fun to try them on. I also have some photos of me wearing the same jeans after I had lost about 40lbs (those are the photos at the top).
Unfortunately, I don’t have any pictures of me wearing these jeans when they actually fitted me, because I deleted a lot of my photos, or only kept the ones taken of my face when they were taken from a good angle!
Also, these jeans are not the biggest I have worn, they are 2 sizes smaller than my biggest. At my biggest I wore a size UK 22 (US 18) and these jeans are a UK 18 (US 14). So if I was wearing the jeans I used to wear at my biggest, this picture would look even stranger.
Yes yes, I know that all clothes sizes are different, but these did fit me. They used to be tight around my thighs and now I can fit 2 legs in one leg. I actually didn’t think my legs had changed that much in size, but I guess they have. I now wear a size UK 8-10 (US 4-6) depending on the shop.

This would make a good book cover
You look so awkward in the first pictures, but now you look happy. I love it! Congratulation on an amazing achievement.
I just love your story. Brilliant pictures too x
Wow – what a great picture! It is a shame you don’t have one of you wearing them at your biggest, but you can still see a dramatic change. Well done you!
