WaaaHooo! That is fabulous news, fitting into pants without the aid of tools is always a good feeling. You are too funny! I bought a pair of jeans yesterday at a consignment store and when I tried them on they were the lower cut as well. They made my tummy look weird you could tell I have lost weight in my waist though cause it looks kind of saggy (ew) so I am not sure if I will wear then cause I am still a little worried about my muffin top, we will have to see, maybe in a week or three it won't be as bad and I will feel more comfortable in them.

Ya know what, Nicole? I bet you look SPLENDID in your new jeans! It's just that our brains are so used to us being and looking and dressing a certain way to cover our flawed bodies - it takes a bit of courage to step outside our comfort zone and try something different! I hate my muffin top, there's no denying that. But I'm starting to recognize that it's not as bad as I probably perceive it to be - looking down, I can see the seat of my car between my legs these days. Before WLS, there was no way I'd be able to catch a glimpse of the leather, 'cuz the thunder thighs were too full, and the belly went clear to the steering wheel. So if I can see the seat now, and even hold a beverage there!, I KNOW the overhang isn't as bad as all that! I'm NOT suggesting I'm learning to LOVE my muffin top, HELL NO! But maybe, just maybe, I'm learning to accept it for what it is? A shrinking symbol of how far I've come! Do yourself a favor. Don't wait three weeks to give those jeans another try, they might fall off you by then.

Thanks! I might try them next week, I have been working out a pretty regular basis, so I am hoping that it will have kicked the little slump I was in out. I know that I should be grateful for what I have lost, it is just that lately it is becoming harder and harder to see any real change from week to week. I feel like I have gotten stuck here, which is where I was from 8th grade until I started gaining in college. I will try and be a bit more optimistic and not fear the muffin top so much. I may even go shopping for some new workout clothes since most of mine are way too baggy and I need some new sports bras cause mine aren't doing much any more. Thanks for sharing the words of encouragement I need to be reminded sometimes of what this journey is all about.

It's time for a confession. At NB coffee 2 weeks ago, I just couldn't get over you. You are so tiny and have such a beautiful shape - you are just BEAUTIFUL! But more than that, I'm impressed by all the things that go on in your mind, and in your heart, and how open you are to sharing your thoughts with us all, encouraging US to find the peace and understanding YOU have found! You are a very special woman, Sandie. VERY special.

Now that I know where Cool Beanz is, you can bet I'll show up there again sometime!!
