WWI (No, not World War I...)

WWI = Weekly Weigh In!

Admittedly, I was laaaaate this morning getting ready for work so I did not have time to take my measurements. But I did take a quick hop on the scale and was very happy to see that I dropped back into the 140s again and am at 149.6.  Hoorah!  The last few days of damage control helped bring my weight back down.  It was scary there for a few days...

Why was I late this morning?  Well, I was busy giving myself a major pep talk about my clothing choice for the day.  You see, I've never been able to wear "skinny" jeans.  They have always made my legs look short and chunky.  It's disturbing.  I've also never been able to wear jeans inside boots because my calves were too big to fit into the boots, let alone adding an extra layer of fabric.

But today?

Awwwww yeah...I'm wearing my cute new boots that I bought last week with some true skinny jeans that I bought on a whim last night at Kohls for under $20.  I was so nervous to go out of the house in them because I still see myself as the overweight girl--the one who can attempt to wear cute clothes but never have it look quite right because my body gets in the way.  I had to convince myself that I wasn't that girl anymore and that I really could show up at work today in my outfit and not feel ridiculous.  It took me a long time to get the courage to walk out the door...but guess what?  When I got to work, a few of my coworkers instantly commented on how cute my boots were.  It was probably the best NSV I've had to date!  Hooray!!
