Thankful Thursday

I feel like my body has changed in so many ways in the last year and a half. I only gained 10 pounds during my pregnancy and in one week after giving birth, I lost 20. Not bad! I wish I had kept it off, but now I have gained back the original 10 lbs and I feel like I am hungry all the time. One of the advantages I had during pregnancy was my lack of a sweet tooth. For some reason, I didn't have my usual sugary cravings at all. Now, it is back and I need to make better choices in the food department. Finding clothes that make me feel comfortable has always been a challenge. I don't want to go buy any new clothes until I lose a little weight. Our budget is tight and I don't want to spend money frivolously. I have been wearing my pregnancy jeans, but without a big belly and the added elastic, they were hanging low and I was constantly pulling them up. Today I went through a drawer and tried on three pairs of jeans. The first two were too tight. The third pair fits beautifully. I feel so comfortable. They are not too tight, too loose, or too baggy. In Goldilock's words, "They are just right." Thank you God for providing a pair of jeans that make me feel good. ;)
