fit in my skinny jeans

I can hardly believe that I’m back in my regular sized jeans! Levi’s. This is all to say that I am now as small as I ever have been in recent years. I bought these jeans in July 2007 and couldn’t wear them by September 07. They TOTALLY fit like a glove. NICE!!! I kinda wish I had some clothes from after 1st year of university. I may have been a wee bit smaller then, but if so, it was marginal.

So for all intents and purposes…. from here on in I will be smaller than I have EVER been in my adult life! Part of me would really like to weigh myself so I know what the number is… but no scale! for a few more weeks. Bah, it’s ok. I have other ways of knowing where I’m at. YIPPEEE!!

(only crappy thing, is these jeans are a wee bit short now… seriously, at 31, have I grown??! I guess I bought them wearing flip flops or something and not a big 3 inch heel like I’m sporting today! lol)

Means that I try to eat healthier, not at night, not skipping breakfast. Use common sense about portion control, fat content, and stuff. It works to use those last few pounds to fit into my smaller clothes, but as soon as I neglect that lifestyle choice… back to disgusing the muffin top.. or no skinny jeans at all :(
LOL

I’ve decided to focus on the daily goals that will get me to fit into smaller jeans (ie exercising and eating better) rather than the end result itself. Why? Because when I focus on those daily goals, I feel better almost immediately and I’m reinforcing those good habits. Whereas, when I focus on fitting into the smaller jeans, I’m just focusing on the result of my smaller daily goals. I’d rather be more in the moment. And if smaller jeans happen (which they probably will eventually with healthy habits) that’s great, but I’m not really focusing on that as a goal anymore. But, anyway, to each their own.

My skinny jeans are still in the closet…....But I did the unthinkable…...Yep….I went on and bought some larger size jeans…..

I know, I know….But I was tired of squeezing into the other jeans, lol. I hope that one day I can fit into them (and be able to sit down in them, haha!), but for right now, I’m doing too much stress eating to really lose any weight, so the jeans just keep getting tighter and tighter. I know that I’ll probably re-add this goal at some point. But for now, the timing just isn’t right. :-)

Can I wear them? Yes? Does it look good? It looks ok. If I lost about 10 pounds, they’d look great, haha! I love my jeans! I don’t wanna give ‘em up, lol! Guess I gotta lose the weight, huh? ;-)

They definitely fit better…...woo hoo!

When I can lose these stubborn pounds, I’m sure I’ll be able to fit into them. Just gotta stick to the diet, lol.

...that in a month, they won’t be so tight! I put on a lot (yikes, did I really type that???) of pounds over the holidays, so I have a ways to go. The main goal is for them to fit comfortably. But right now, I just want them to fit. I’ll try ‘em on in a month, and see how I do, lol.

Well…..the holidays are over, and now is the time for me to get back on that fitness wagon. Yep….exercise and healthy eating, here I come!

I’ve put on a couple of pounds, so I’ll start back with my fitness and cute jeans goal after the holidays, lol.
