I haven't stepped on a scale so I couldn't translate my pants not staying up into actual pounds lost. Last week I broke out the Wii Fit for the first time in ages to try the new game I bought. While my Wii Fit age had jumped to 40, my BMI was down and the animated board told me I've lost almost 14 pounds! I couldn't believe it.
Last Tuesday I decided it was time to try on jeans for a pair that fit better (which is usually a nightmare because there's so much junk in my trunk). I had a coupon from BlogHer for a free pair of Gap jeans that I've been saving. I pulled my usual size off the rack and brought a few different styles into the dressing room. And they were too big!
The salesperson came to check on me and I asked for the next size down, which I haven't had to do since I was in my 20's. I haven't looked like this in a pair of jeans since college. I can honestly say, for the first time in a long time, that I don't think my butt looks big! I don't care if it is vanity sizing, wearing a size 6 again is making me pretty happy today.
(I apologize for both the crappy photo and the fact that I didn't clean the mirror first)UPDATE: My mom arrived at our house this afternoon for the 3 Day and the first thing she said when I got out of the car was, "Wow! You did get skinny! I can't remember the last time you were that size!" Umm, thanks?
*None of the companies or brands mentioned asked me to do so, I only included them as a means to tell the story.
Okay. 1) You GO girl!! (high 5!)
ReplyDelete2) I got back to a size 6 last year for the first time since.. um, who the hell knows. And yeah! Yay! (high 5 again!)
3) Maybe 'cuz I don't know you, but I do NOT see where you're getting that 'junk in the trunk' thing. Speaking as someone dubbed "Bubble Butt" in high school, I think you're crazy. :)
Rock it girl!
ReplyDeleteI remember the day that happened to me. Brought in my usual "big girl" jeans - all too big. Got a size 6 and slipped in beautifully. I cried at first - sopping wet, nasty crying. My daughter was with me & asked what was wrong. Then, I started crying/laughing and doing this stupid happy jumping dance w/ my daughter in the dressing room singing, "Momma's a size 6!" over and over. The poor ladies in the other rooms must have thought I lost my mind (or were seething with jealously - heh). :)
Funniest part - when I got home I made my husband take a picture of my butt in my new jeans. Gotta capture the moment!
You go girl. The jeans fit GREAT!
ReplyDeleteWow. I'm impressed. You look great--but you always did.
ReplyDelete@Gina- It's true. My tush has always been round and "full." I call it Ghetto Booty. :D
ReplyDelete@Michelle- You've worked MUCH harder than I have. Tears of happiness were well deserved!
@Keya- Thank you! I got them free but do feel they are worth the money.
@Jenn Awww, thanks *blush*
