So the other day, I went over to one of the second hand stores that I like to get the kids' clothes from sometimes, and I took a wander over to the ladies jeans rack...where I saw a pair of size 18 jeans...that I decided to try on. They were $6.99, with no wear in the crotch (miracle, right??), but in spite of the size one the label, they looked impossibly small. I don't know why I even decided to try them on...but I did. AND THEY FIT!!! So I bought them and wore them today. Which, on its own is really not a big deal...except that this is the first time I've worn jeans in something close to 10 years! RIGHT???
Focus on the jeans, not the chins (bad angle or WHAT??)
Also. Bones. I can feel some now! And I wonder how long it's gonna be before I can feel one of my bones and not have the fleeting momentary terror that it's a tumor. Does anyone else do that?? Like I feel something and then panic, and frantically start touching the other side of me to see if things are the same on the other side and then...*phew* Am I alone in this crazy? Please say I'm not! But yes...bones! I have them! Collar bones even! Who would have ever suspected? Not me, that's for sure!
Jeans and bones. See?
They there, i am so happy for you and your accoplishments. I was just banded on March 4th. I haven't had a fill yet, so it's a little struggle with no resstrictions. I am excited to read your blog. It's great finding people on these things, so i can see what people go thru and what to expect. Thanks for being a inspiration.
ReplyDeleteTalk to Carm about bones. She was freaked out in Chicago until I felt her bones and assured her that they were her hip bones and not some massive tumour. The two of you can feel up each others bones in Chi Town. We'll tape it. And the jeans look great. Woo Hoo!
ReplyDeleteWay to go you look awesome....
ReplyDeleteYou look amazing... I can't wait to see you in Chicago!
ReplyDeleteLooking great! Awesome jeans too!
ReplyDeleteI am SO happy for you! A good pair of jeans is worth its cost many times over. And at $6.99 you pretty much could wear them once and toss them if you wanted. I TOTALLY get the tumor scare-thing. I felt my sternum a few months back for the first time in ages and was sure it was a tumor until husband laughed his ass off and made me feel his. Jerk.
ReplyDeleteYou're not crazy! I thought I had some sort of a horrendous growth in my side until my husband pointed out that they were my ribs and called me a wingnut.
ReplyDeleteOh and those jeans are awesome on you - very flattering.
They look so good and a bargain - how can you go wrong? I know you don't like to wear pants that much, but they're really cute.
ReplyDeleteI get the bones/tumor thing - it's really weird. Sometimes I just sit and rub my shoulder becasue I can feel the lumpy bones.
You are one hot sexy mama.
ReplyDeleteTomorrow won't be nearly as fun as last Sunday because I won't be seeing my Gilly.
Love the jeans. And the bones.
ReplyDeleteYay awesome! I have recently found some bones as well that I didnt realise were there (shoulder blades when cleaning in the shower!) I completely understand - awesome progress! Yay about the jeans too :)
ReplyDeleteYou look great Gilly! Bones are a little scary at first Now, I'm getting used to them!
ReplyDeleteNothing better than jeans and bones I tell you. NOthing.
ReplyDeleteYou look beautiful!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on both.
ReplyDeleteOMG- You gorgeous skinny B!!!
ReplyDeleteCan I just say for the record, that I'm officially JEALOUS. Like for real because I can not fit in 18's yet.
You look FABULOUS in those jeans. Never take them off.
you are rockin those jeans! I must laugh about the bones... My hip bones are now diggin into the mattress when I sleep... I always had that padding around them! And my collar bone seems so noticeable now!
ReplyDeleteYou look fabo in those jeans! I can't wait to meet you in Chicago!
ReplyDeleteThe jeans look great on you!!!! I can't wait until I can feel my bones. They are still hidden by layers of me right now.
ReplyDeleteNice! I think every new bone or bump is a growth of some sort, then I feel to see if there is a match on the other side of my body. I figure if it's a set, then they are supposed to be there.
ReplyDeleteI'm super happy for you!!!! (P.S. nice top!)
You are totally rockin' the jeans!!! I'm so excited for you!!! Woo Hoo!! And only $6.99 - they were SOOOO meant to be.
ReplyDeleteI get wigged out every time I clasp my hands together, interlocking my fingers. It just feels all wrong!!! Like there are these freaky hard things rubbing against each other - instead of just my fingers.
