"I just have a hard time believing..."

Right after surgery my mom gave my about 5 garbage bags full of skinny clothes from her closet she out grew. I remember holding up a size 12 and thinking "I just have a hard time believing I will ever fit into those." They seem dauntingly small. This week I am still 29 lbs from my personal goal and I'm comfortably wearing a size 12. Yesterday I bought a size 10 on the clearance rack because it shouldn't be long before those fit too. Now I am so excited to get into a size 8 - single digits. I think my age was single digits the last time I fit single digits.
