I’ve been putting off joining Weight Watchers again – desperately hoping the weight would just magically disappear. And actually, a lot of it did. I wouldn’t say it was magic – but I’m down to about 5 lbs above my pre-pregnancy weight. Except that I’m not sure where it all disappeared from – because although I can zip up my skinny jeans, I certainly can not breath in them, and there is this very suspicious roll hanging out over the waist-band. It doesn’t matter how good my Sevens make my butt look if I’m carrying an inner-tube around under my shirt.
I had a lot of reasons for pushing back my start date – our trip to Utah, Kari and Will visiting, Father’s Day – that giant apple pie we bought from Costco. But I knew the time had come to buckle down and start having some control again. As long as we were not counting points, certain things kept appearing in the cupboard…
And although certain things were bought by a Certain Someone (who’s name rhymes with Dom) another Certain Someone (who shall remain nameless) has no self control when it comes to Tastiness.
So on Sunday, I signed myself up for WW and finally admitted that I need help to get to where I want to be with this body. And I put in a goal that will hopefully take me to not only fitting in The Jeans, but maybe even a smaller pair. I can’t say that I’m super excited to be making this “lifestyle change” (it’s not a diet!) again – I really, really like pie. And cake. And I love brownies. But I’m less thrilled about the weight – and I can handle having brownies only once every month or two. I think.
I’m not sure what delusion I’m under about weight but it appears to be related to yours. I need to start WW so I can control my eating and be more healthy. Although I see brownies and ice cream in my future…just in smaller portions.
I love my 7s as well, but I am a little disgusted that they are “7s for All Mankind” when they cost more than the Indian family that made them spends on food in year. I am okay with living in the richest country in the world, but do we have to spike the ball in the third world’s face while we do it?
They are only 7 for All Ebaying Kind for me – I got mine for $25. I won’t even buy Gap jeans at full price, let alone 7s. I don’t know if that changes anything though – me being cheap – someone paid money for them and then I’m paying for them a second time…
I’m a Levis kind of guy, they always fit and they’re never overpriced . It’s because the sweat shops they’re made in are run by magic gnomes and pixies.
It took me forever to convince Maggie to just buy my Levis. She could not understand why I hated the Gap and Banana Republic jeans she got me. Levis are now my everyday pants, but I have some designer jeans for work and social events.
Tom wears Luckys too. But I do buy them at Costco for the same price as Levis.
Paper Denim and Cloth from Nordstrom’s Rack for me.
