The Day My Pants Finally Felt Tight in a Good Way

I bought these pants two sizes up a few months ago because nothing else fit. Yesterday they were noticeably tighter.

The relief of clothes getting smaller

I stood in front of the mirror for a while. Not because I was upset — because I was surprised by how good it felt. My body is actually changing.

Done waiting to deserve comfort

I'm done buying things that fit the body I'm trying to escape. This body deserves clothes that fit it today.
