Yay! I bought a new pair of capris! As you know, I went through some weight loss last summer. I didn't quite make it into my size 8 capris from a few years ago, so I hung on to them "assuming" I'd loose more weight this winter and be able to wear them again now. Major fail there, but I didn't gain too much over the winter.
So as Stacy and Clinton (from "What Not to Wear") would say, dress your body in the size that it is. Hanging on to the smaller size is actually frustrating and holding me back. I get so irritated when I walk in the closet, and that's not right. I really can't be ashamed. I'm in size 10 pants! A year ago at this time I was in size 14/16. I need to keep reminding myself that maybe 8s are a little bit of a stretch for me right now. So off to the church garage sale they went!
Long story short, I went shopping and found some pants that fit PERFECTLY AND I look fantastic in them. I may never take them off! Actually I'm going to get another pair tomorrow. And to think....all that time agonizing over something so stupid as 1 pant size. I could have been feeling fantistic a long time ago.
Another major bonus. I feel so good, I re-found my motivation to keep eating healthy and exercising. When I was so bummed about the old clothes, my thoughts were way too negative and self defeating. Who knows, maybe by the end of the summer I'll be able to run to the store to get a few new pairs of size 8 capris! Wouldn't that be fun?!?!
