WTF? 14s?! I haven’t seen 14s since…possibly college but high school for sure! I’m unbelievably geeked about this!
In my mind, I’m probably still a good 5# away from being able to wear them nicely—but I actually think it’s time to start wearing them so I’m more apt to watch my food intake. I’ve been wearing my comfy 16s and yoga pants for two weeks (and have been maintaining more than losing) so by wearing pants that “fit” (i.e. are a little snug) hopefully I’ll get off the maintenance bandwagon and start losing again! I know I want to lose more, but right now I’m just very comfortable where I am. I’ve actually said that if I never lose another pound, I’d be perfectly happy…except…I know my body can get thinner. I’m not even technically to Overweight yet if you can believe it (though I’m close)!!
Interestingly, all the size 14s I bought (three pair last night) are tight in the thighs and calves…while the good ol’ Costco Gloria Vanderbilt faves of the same size? I can barely button them. Tom says they all look good—and, considering where I started, yes I guess they do look good—but to me, if I saw someone looking like I look in them, I’d probably think they needed to lose 5-10# or wear a bigger size. 😐 All I can see from the side is my huge thighs. And I’ve always hated my calves (they’re HUGE and oddly-shaped) so to me, the clingy denim just accentuates that flaw even more. That said, I know we all see the worst in ourselves, so I’m trying not to let that bother me and just enjoy that I’M WEARING A SIZE 14. And know that I’m just (still) not used to tight-fitting clothes and this is the style these days!
