Hello All!
So today, I went shopping. Shopping normally creates a lot of anxiety in me. Mostly when I am shopping for pants. I'm always shopping for pants.
I didn't find any pants today. Apparently, no pants are available after May 1st.
Luckily, Old Navy has the jeans I wear. AND the jeans I wear in a size smaller than normal. Maybe this size smaller is the new normal!
Unluckily, Kohl's did not. I did manage to find some capris that fit. I settled on just one pair because Kohl's has this annoying habit of putting excessive seams, zippers and pockets on the particular brand of pants that I like to wear (ie actually fit me). I literally tried on like 6 pairs to find one pair that fit. Then they didn't have the shirt I liked in the size I needed. OR the present I intended on buying my husband.
So I got to thinking...I can still notch my belt one notch tighter and can still fit into jeans one size smaller. My scale is broken (for better or for worse?) (It just needs a new battery.) so I can't say if my weight is changing. I feel like I've gained quite a bit secondary to my reintroduction of bad habits. BUT what I really got thinking about was WHAT IF I could have worn those smaller pants all along. What was stopping me? The answer was that they didn't fit. At least, I didn't think that they did.
As I move into mid-May, I enter another chapter where I should get myself motivated to loose some weight. I really should find a 5K and just sign up. I could probably walk it if nothing else...
