Jeans Yes!!!!

Ok, I have been recouping since March/22 just from ileo surgery and have been living in PJs or track pants since. Today is chemo treatment day; it's an all-day affair, but it's all good... why you might ask?

Well, I will share... the greatest feeling of today was going into my wardrobe, pulling out a couple of pairs of jeans that months ago I could just squeeze into, and I decided, what the hell, you didn't lose over 40 lbs for nothing (not by choice), give it a whirl as they say...

Took a deep breath, slid my legs in, pulled them up, zipped, and buttoned them, and bang, they fit, and they even have room for my active pouch; in fact, I could still gain a few pounds for the perfect fit... can't wait!!!!

So, treatment day is going to be ok as DAMN, I feel great, I feel normal, hell, I even look normal. I'm in jeans, and all is good... It's the simplest things that can set your day; for me, it was looking good and feeling good in a pair of jeans...

Gang life is what we decide to make it; we are not ugly monsters or different; we are still the same person, if not even a better person than post surgeries... whether others see us that way is their loss; they are missing out on US...

Watch out world, here me and my jeans come, lol.

Stay strong, and mostly, smile on!

Adapt, Conquer, Overcome...

Your fellow Homie with a stomie,

Tracy

Nothing is hotter than a woman wearing a pair of jeans that are just a little bit loose to show off that butt wiggle. πŸ‘Β

Take every victory you can get, no matter how small. It is funny how some of the things we took for granted before being osto-fied now seem like such big deals. Keep trying on those old clothes you love... rock on sister!

Woot woo, can't keep a good man down. WTG, buddy! Baby steps lead to teen steps, which lead to adult steps...

Walk on and get home... so proud of you.

Thanks, girlfriend, much appreciated. Also, jumped on the scale and gained 5 lbs. Another "hell ya," it was a great day.

Coffee with a doughnut, jeans, pounds, and sunshineβ€”who can ask for anymore?

If I could do a jig, I would, but I did stand on my deck when I got home from chemo and shouted, "I'm the queen of the world!" πŸ˜† 🀣

That's so great Tracy!

Nothing like looking good and feeling good!

I love, love that high waisted Jeans are a thing again and of course with some stretch too they are super comfortable. The high waist for me means the bag is completely contained with no moving around and I can wear a more fitted top :-))
