I’m sick of hating what I see in the mirror. I’m not going to drop 50 pounds this month. I actually think I’m so unmotivated to lose weight because I just never feel like I look good. SO, I sucked it up and took my regular store bought jeans and altered them to fit my weird PP body. I like them so much that I’m doing another pair. I know it probably seems like nothing to a lot of you, they have an elastic yoga pant waist, but the fact that they’re not sweats is a big step for me. I might be a bigger version of me, but I need to stop wearing the sweats and stained coaching shirts every day. Maybe if I feel a *little* pretty every once in a while (like, my butt doesn’t look half bad in a pair of jeans) I might be motivated to keep going. We’ll see. And yes, I’m recycling my old clothes to do this, like I said I was going to a year ago. A nice little christmas gift to myself, our budget and the earth LOL.
Finally

YAY for you! I think that’s wonderful. Baby steps will get you closer, at least that’s what I have done! I’m so proud of you!! And Tim Gunn would be proud as well.

I’m not sure he (or you) would love the patchy sides I put on said jeans, but it’s gotta be higher up on his scale than sweats LOL!
