Every fall, I dread (DREAD!) putting on my jeans. All summer I wore athleisure wear, shorts and dresses. Then in September or October, I'd jump up and down, pull and tug and shimmy into my skinny jeans. I'd take a deep breath, zip-up and close the top button. And then upon exhaling, I'd feel uncomfortable, bloated and sad - down on myself.
Not this year.
This year they were baggy in the butt. I didn't even have to unbutton them to get them on. They just slid on up -- and then proceeded to fall down. So, I treated myself to a few pairs of size five skinny jeans. Size 5/6. SIZE FIVE/FRIGGING SIX!
I'm not motivated by being "thin". I'm motivated by these feel-good-feelings. By feeling fit. Healthy. Accomplished. Feeling comfortable in my own skin. And feeling comfortable in those new skinny jeans, too. I am not a different person since I reached my goal weigh. I am the same girl ... in smaller jeans.
Very interesting discussion glad that I came across such informative post. Keep up the good work friend. keep it up...
