cindylynnwho's Journal, 13 Apr 08

No change today, but I might go shopping anyway. It is Sunday, and I am getting sick of my pants falling down. They don't look so hot with the belt (and I don't like belts) but its worse to keep pulling them up all the time. Neither sexy nor, at work, professional.

My mom actually gave me a pair of size 14 pants that are too big for her, and I was disappointed to find that they were too small for me. Like, if I was this size but had a flat stomach they would fit but... I guess I'll just hold onto them for a while because I might need them at some point. Meanwhile, I <i>know</i> I can fit into other size 14s. My 16s have about 4 inches of extra room in them. I guess the key to wearing smaller sizes is to shop at JCPenney's, where I got most of the pants that I wear now. :lol:

There is a bit of good news, fitting-wise, however. I have this necklace that was given to me in high school by my best friend's mom. I hadn't worn it in a while until I tried it on a couple of months ago only to find that my neck had gotten so fat that it didn't fit. I mean, it fit on me, but in a grotesque looking way. I was feeling really sad about this. Now, thank god, it fits normally again. :) ~sigh of relief~ The neck fat was really bothering me more than the stomach area, anyway. I know I look chubby in my current userpic, but the amazing thing about it is that I was able to take it of myself without making a double chin appear and without taking the picture from overhead (as in my previous userpic) to avoid such things. It had been a while since I was able to do that.

The night before last I stayed up most of the night at my parent's house helping them prepare for an unexpected open house. Actually, I tried to go to bed at 11:30, but my mom stayed up making a lot of noise so I didn't get any sleep. Then yesterday I went to Sarasota with my neighbors to my neighbor's art reception.

"Bayou Buddies"
That was fun, but I didn't get any exercise yesterday. I was so exhausted when we got back that I just laid around all evening and didn't feel up to even the littlest exercise. Oh, well, I guess everyone deserves a day of rest, anyway.

Still on the table is a bike ride to feed my brother's cats. Sooo far though... We'll see.

So, what's the verdict? did the cats have a day of fasting or what!? LOL The way your graph is going down, you'll be wearing those 14's that your mom gave you in a few weeks. Just keep telling yourself that! You're doing great, Friend!

thanks, friends! andee, no, I didn't bike all the way to my brother's house, but no cats were harmed in the making of that decision. ;) I drove the car instead. I decided that if the city builds a bike path or my brother moves within 5 miles of me, I will do it, otherwise, I am not that ambitious, I am afraid.

I just noticed your BFP went down below 40%! YAY! As far as pants go, the cut is very important. I don't mean vanity sizing either. Find pants that flatter your figure no matter what the size.

that dip below 40% was kind of a fluke, sara... its only the second time its gone that low and its not there consistently. but its a first step, right? yeah, you're right, I have to get away from the vanity sizing... so tempting though! :)

GREAT job on keeping up the good fight! I too have a necklace that used to fit "short", but now it's dangling to my cleavage!! lol It cracks me up as one day at work, I thought there was something in my shirt or worse, that my necklace had broken and fallen off! When I went to the bathroom to check, it was simply the necklaces new hanging position!! lol Cracks me up! =D Simple pleasures are the best!
