I went a little off topic last post about jeans. Again, I LOVE jeans and shoes, but I'm limited on shoes because I'm a baby when it comes to the pain of heels. Since school/work is fast approaching, I decided to go through all of my clothing to see what fits and what doesn't. I have a wide range of sizes in my closet and I really wanted to get a new work wardrobe at the beginning of this year, but I think I need to wait until I get to my goal. New clothes are my motivation to get there.
I was very pleasantly surprised to find that I have more options this year with being able to wear almost everything in my closet. I definitely need more tops, but I can do ok with my current pant selection. In terms of work pants, I have sizes ranging from size 8 to size 14. I got rid of the 14's because they are way too big. The 12's are a little loose, but I can make them work for a little while longer. 10's work, but 1 pair is too snug to pull off all day and not have the lovely muffin top. I can get a couple pairs of 8's on, but WAY too tight so i need to lose about 10 or 15 lbs to fit those . So I would say I'm officially a size 10. Not too shabby knowing I was about 220ish 5 1/2 months ago.
Now for jeans, which did you know I LOVE? I can wear all of them except for 3 pairs. Those 3 are my jeans that I discussed in my last post from my partying, no eating, drinking, working out and dancing days. While I can't go back to those days, I can hopefully go back to those jeans. One pair is a size 28 and the other two are size 30's. I tried them on for shits and giggles. I knew that I wouldn't be able to wear them and figured they would only come up to my knees. Well, I could actually get one pair up and on my lower butt. Buttoning and zipping is still about 5 inches of belly/butt/back fat away, but there has been progress. So, they are my newest non-weight goal. I would like to fit them by the time I go to Austin for a special someone's bachelorette weekend! Here they are...

I have confidence that you can hit your goal!
ReplyDeleteI totally could have taken those 14s off your hands. I'm between a 12 and 14 right now.
Shopping gets much more expensive the thinner you get :) That's freaking fabulous that you are in a 10, girl your baby is still YOUNG! All your hard work is paying off and I'm sure those jeans will be on you and fabulous in no time!
