Cleaning out drawers today and this is what I found! One of the first pair of jeans I was trying to "work my way" into. If you've been following for a while, you may recall my How To Dress Your Muffin series...
Yikes:

Yes, the muffin top jeans would now probably hold two of me inside!
Ahh. The face.
The first face is when I still weighed over 200 lbs. The second face was taken just a few days ago.
The thing is, I already had "the twinkle" in the first picture. I already knew where I was headed and most importantly that I would get there. I still have the twinkle and it still represents the same thing--hope for what is to come.
And I'm not just talking about the hope of smaller jeans.
1 Corinthians 15:19
If only for this life we have hope in Christ, we are to be pitied more than all men.

Wow. What a difference just 13 pounds made in the muffin! Amazing. Deb
