I think I was in denial that they were too small
I really believed that if I could just hold my breath in all day
Then everything would be fine and dandy
But enough was enough
I had to purge my wardrobe
I have about 4 pairs of jeans that I call my 'anorectic' jeans
Teeny tiny skinny jeans that no grown woman should be able to fit in to
My favourite pair were a softer than soft blue denim that I picked up in France when I was barely 80 lbs
I loved them so
It gave me no end of pleasure to know that I could slip neatly in to them
Well, not anymore
Yes, I can still close them but they look like they are painted on to my legs
So last night I bit the bullet
I pulled all the offending items out of my wardrobe
And no, I haven't got rid of them
I'm not quite ready for that yet
(Oh I just had a thought
Maybe I could throw them in to the lake with my scales!)
No I haven't thrown them away
I've just put them away
Where they are out of my line of vision so they can't mock me that I can't fit in to them
Thankfully, because I have been every weight under the sun over the last few years
I have every size jeans known to woman
So I went through them all and tried to find some that I felt comfortable in
Here's what I found
 |
| Levis that I bought in Australia 2 years ago and have never worn, dark blue A little big but wearable and comfortable |
 |
| Fat Face (oh the irony) skinny jeans, navy |
 |
| Free soul black boot legs jeans, super comfortable |
If a little sad to say good bye to my old skinnies
Bye bye skinny jeans
You are in a better place now
And so am I
I hope I never have use for you again
I hope you live out the rest of your days at the bottom of my wardrobe
Gathering dust
And being eaten by moths
You have served me well skinny jeans
And you were with me through my darkest times
But it's time say farewell
So long
I hope we never have reason to meet again.......
They're really super nice!
ReplyDeleteWow!!!
Thank you sweetie pie x
DeleteSet them on fire! We all know keeping them allows room for the "because one day you can be wearing them again" thought. Burn them!! Cx
ReplyDeleteHe he, good idea C x
DeleteI am also thinking burn or drown them. The temptation might be too much some day.
ReplyDeleteIf I only I had the courage........... x
Deletethat's honestly making me want to cry.
ReplyDeleteit really made my day.
thank you.
this is really a huge step.
and i agree with anon. i hope that one day, you are able to get rid of them. i still keep my fat clothes around in case i ever get fat again. :P but i have a sparing amount of clothes that don't fit me. as in just 1-2 pants, and it's not that they don't fit me. it's just they're snug AND THEY ARE SO PRETTY.

It was a big step
