[RAVE] Who am I??

[jessgnc 167]

Yesterday I went out in public in skinny jeans. Size 14 skinny jeans which were honestly a bit loose*.

For context here, I am the person who, even in my 20's wore mom-jeans. Big and loose, size 18/20s with a waistband over my bellybutton. Truly sexy, I know. I have a stitchfix subscription and one of my notes on things I want/don't want is "NEVER SEND ME SKINNY JEANS - It is never going to happen."

I feel like I'm having an identity crisis! I went from hiding everything to going out in jeans which are clinging tightly to me and making my butt look fantastic. I sent my husband a text when I went out yesterday that said: "I AM WEARING SKINNY JEANS IN PUBLIC WILLINGLY. I DON'T KNOW WHO I AM ANYMORE."

His reply was "A skinny mini with self confidence. "

Anyway, this is a big deal for me. My scale has been saying 200.00 for the past week, but my NSV seemed almost as wonderful as entering Onederland!

*I bought them last week. I went in thinking "maybe a 16 will work" and 14 did. 14 might be loose but I didn't want to press my luck and ruin my happy mood!

Congratulations on your NSV.

That is totally awesome. I love my skinny jeans!! Let me share a little tidbit. Walmart sells Levi Strass skinny jeans!!! For the price of $19.95. Now I don't know about you but personally, I love to buy these and save me lots of $$!! I bought some jeans for like $75.00 a piece (hubby said I needed them) and I really don't care for them as much as my Levi's, They are midrise and I like Highrise. They don't have to be over my belly button but I still have this stupid muffin top and with the highrise, they cover more of it. So MIZ SKINNY JEANS check out Walmart!!

Great NSV! I never felt comfortable in skinny jeans either, but have come to like them more, especially now that I bought a really cute pair of boots. Congrats!

I found a great consignment store near where I live, they have lots of high end stuff. Got a pair of banana Republic jeans for $9 and they fit so nicely. Another good option for cheaper clothing while still losing, and there are so many more choices in the less than plus sizes.

Oh dear God! This made my morning...don't know how I missed it! I'm grinning ear-to-ear for you and can feel your pride and self-confidence from here! And I your hub's reply. You should totally keep him, and have a funeral where you burn every pair of Mommy jeans in your closet girlie. You deserve it. Congrats!
