In a world of skinny jeans, I am a wide leg. A frayed at the bottom, loose around the hips, crotch slunk a little low, ripped in the thigh wide legged girl. I don't think I am alone here. I think there are many wide leg girls out there but they have all been shamed into the background by the elusive skinny jean. Now another fall is upon us and skinny jeans are still in the forefront of fashion without a wide leg in sight.
It has become my mission to embrace what I cannot change and attempt to lose enough weight to not only wear skinny jeans but look good in them.
Once upon a time I was about to get married. I went on a diet of no carbohydrates for 9 months. This lead to a fantastic weight loss of 10lbs and a body I could dress up in a bikini. 2.3 years later I cannot wear a bikini. In fact I have gained more weight then I had originally lost. This weight gain has put me in a position of stressful dislike. Now is the time to change myself.
On Monday's I will weigh in. This will help me from cheating on the weekends, or so I hope.
Most days I will try to record what I ate. Not in a psycho eating disorder way but in a way I can track what I eat and figure out why I am or am not losing weight.
I will go to Curves like I used to about 4-6 days a week. I will also attempt to add pilates or yoga to at least 2 days of the week and add a different exercise such as running in the mix.
Thanksgiving will not count as a weight loss day.
Nor will the Chanukah party.
By New Years I hope to lose 10lbs to start. I want it to be a happy 2011. By January 1, 2011 I will go and try on skinny jeans and see how I fair. I will post pictures of my triumph or humiliation.
And when this is all said and done and I feel as though I am in shape and feel good about myself, I will go find wide leg jeans and wear them proudly in my new body that can wear skinny jeans but chooses not to..
