I pulled some jeans out of a storage tub the other day. I didn't even know they were there, but apparently put them away at some point thinking I would fit them again someday. I was sz 26 pre op and these jeans are 22 I think. Anyway I grabbed a pair tonight for work, and as I am sitting here I notice a stain on the front. It has to be betadine from doctoring a horse at some point in time. Then I notice the wear on the inseam. These are pants I actually wore when I was last riding my horse on a regular basis! It is so nice to know I am getting back to that point again. I so miss riding. :) it is funny where the rewards pop up in this journey, and it is something that only my fellow journeymen would understand. Lol.

When I visited the Grand Canyon about 10 years ago, I wanted to ride to the bottom on a mule, until I saw the sign that read " no one over 150 lbs" I knew then it would probably never happen, But now I can almost think about doing that someday! And I have added back to my bucket list =)
Congrats again, you really deserve this pleasure!
I have jeans I wore just last summer that I cannot wear now. Last fall when my health went bad, I gained 50ish pounds in like 3 months. Went from a size 18/20 to a 24... it is weird to be excited just to get back into the pants I wore last summer that I thought were huge at the time!
Used to ride horses. Never more. Don't feel like getting hurt now days. I usally had to ride green broke ones.
