Size 7, WooHoo!

I had one of those “WTF was I thinking!?” moments today. I tried on a pair of stretch denim L.E.I. jeans this morning. They’re a size 7 and they’ve been hanging in my closet since my pre-wedding days. I got them up and buttoned and while they’re very, very tight, they technically fit! The jeans that I’m currently wearing have gotten too big and so I decided to wear the size sevens today because I figured it would be nice to wear a pair of pants that aren’t completely falling down for once. I was feeling good until I got to work and then I totally wondered what the hell I was thinking! Those jeans were so tight and I almost in a sense felt naked just because they really show the shape of my lower body, both the good aspects and the bad. Later on I started thinking that they’re not really that bad, it’s just that I’m so used to my clothes feeling baggy and on top of that I’ve spent a long time hiding my figure and so wearing something that really shows it was almost scary! I don’t know exactly what size jeans I’m shooting for as my goal size but I figure 7 has to be pretty darn close. I think right now it’s more about wearing those jeans but changing my body to fit them in a way that I think looks both healthy and flattering. So, yeah it's not really about the numbers (but still woo hoo! about the 7's!)
