New Jeans...Er Old Jeans

So I have been getting along on one pair of jeans, one pair of dress pants, and a denim skirt for quite awhile now. I refuse to buy any more new, bigger than I am comfortable with, clothes because I have a butt ton of clothes that if I would just lose some weight, would fit me just fine. I have been very good lately with the eating and working out. This morning on a whim, I tried on a pair of jeans one size smaller than my current jeans, just to see how far away from the next size I am. Surprisingly, they fit. I was a bit confused since the current pair of jeans are not really baggy on me at all. They're both Gap jeans, although different rises. The current jeans sit lower, on my hips, while the older jeans are more of a mid rise and sit just below my navel. This is, and the fact the old jeans are, well, older and more stretched perhaps, are the only reason I can find for this pleasant surprise this morning. Gives me some encouragement going into the weigh in tomorrow. I took last night off from working out but plan on it tonight.

The even nicer things about these old jeans is that they're not obnoxiously long like the current pair that I have to wear some kind of heel with or else suffer with dragging hems.
