Can I have a boast? I’m two inches away from doing up a pair of size 16 jeans

JEANS, I tell you, in a size 16.

Old ones from a charity shop, and they have been through my tumble drier. Up over my legs, thighs and bum with ease - just a couple of inches shy of doing up.

In July, I was in a size 20.

I’m still living in my leggings, but my cardigans look bloody ridiculous so I thought I’d grab a pair of jeans from the £1 pile when I was last in town just to see, largest was a 16, so I thought sod it, every will fit one day.

Did not expect them to go futher than my ankles!

Lonf story short, I had a shit few years and I gained 9 stone in 4 years. I got diagnosed with celiac disease earlier this year and my body is now working properly and it’s all just clicked. Plus, gluten free “treats” and bread taste like utter crap. So that helps.

I’m cooking everything from scratch and enjoying it.

I’ve lot around 3 stone.

I don’t know anyone to boast to. So please be kind Grin

This is huge for me after years of struggle.
