new body.. same old mind?
Jul 25, 2010
So last Wednesday I bought my first pair of size 22 jeans and new work pants. The work pants were a 22/24 and they are black, very soft with a draw string. (i work under a chef so wanna be comfortable) Anyways I wore them to work Thursday and Friday. Well they were very comfortable and I thought they felt good. By the time Friday came around they were bothering me!!! I noticed since the pants are soft cotton and have alot of give they were loose! Like in the thighs and butt... So I didn't understand what was going on in my mind!!! I was so used to how the fit felt (loose and baggy) that I failed to realize these were just too big! Now I'm a size 22 jeans but I guess in pants that are soft cotton I'm not...So I ended up returning them to fashion bug that Friday night after work. It was horrible going all day at work with those on! Every time I walked in front of a mirror or window I was so disgusted with how those darn things looked on me! I didn't like that look of "loose" fitting clothing! Needless to say the 18/20 are perfect... now I'm not really that size in jeans or shirts yet just these pants cause they have give... and fit nicely around my thighs and butt without being loose! Love em now!
So here is what I am getting at... I started off a year ago being a very tight 32w jeans/6x shirt! I always, always, always bought close that were loose fitting everywhere! So in my mind when I'm shopping and trying things on when they feel loose my mind registers it as being a perfect fit... Its like even thought I'm this newly size 22 my mind is still at that size 32... Its so strange.. I guess its going to be a while before my mind catches up with what size I am..
lol but I will say this.. I HATE LOOSE FITTING CLOTHING NOW!!! I love for my jeans to be snug fitting in all the right places and for my shirts to be just right and not baggy!!! I never ever would have thought that I would ever wear clothes so snug (and not just snug cause the store don't make a bigger size!) I like em snug now to show it all off.. haha!
Now when I go shopping I'm gonna have to remember not to listen to the "old me" but start listening to the "new me." All I know is I feel so extremely fat is clothes are hanging off of me now...
I look good and feel good and I want to show it and show off what I got now!!!
