“Dude, You're Skinny!”

WOOOOO! I am a size smaller, yes, SMALLER than  before I got pregnant with Harry. I am also a few pounds less, which is a big deal for someone who has dealt with weight issues her entire life. I've always had to be on a diet, and to weigh less than I did before I was pregnant is amazing! Now I just have to hit the NYSC (gym) and work out regularly to tone up the area where the c-section was done, because I'm not an exact size. I'm a size 5 trapped wearing 7's. The 7's are so loose on my thighs and calves, even my butt. I hate that. :( The bagginess on my thighs is the worst thing.

Most of my old clothes are size 5 (I wear Juniors clothing, not womens), but I do have a good amount of size 7 to hold me over. I also have a few bins of size 3 and smaller. I have no intention of aiming for size 0 again. Maintaining a size 0 was far too much work. As much as I love my size 0 clothing, I couldn't see myself preparing special meals for myself and for others on top of making sure I get enough cardio to keep myself into those teeny tiny clothes. 

Knowing I'm almost a size 5 is enough for me :) Hearing a friend say, "Dude, you're skinny!" was really uplifting. Add to that positive little blurb the fact that someone said, "I thought you were in your mid-thirties like me!" and you have enough compliments to keep you boosted for the month...or more ;)

An afterthought, and a plug for a really cool jean company. When I saw KIX perform live this past summer here on Long Island, Brian Forsythe was wearing the coolest cords I ever saw. Well, I found them, and I want them. They're expensive, but I bet they're worth it. The jeans were by Marc Vachon, and at first glance, I assumed they were a pair of Brian's vintage jeans.

This is the pair I wanted to buy a couple of months ago. they were well over a $100. (I think they were around $175., but I could be wrong!), and now they're only $99. each. Yes, ha ha ha @ ONLY!
