ww update and 10 year old pants

I'm sure you're all dying to get an update on my battle against flabby arms and muffin tops. Maybe you're not, but let's pretend, shall we?!

Progress - I lost 2 pounds last week, which brings my total to 9! I also bought some skinny jeans this weekend, which oddly are WAY too long on me (which makes no sense, as the other types from Gap fit me just fine) and will need hemming (and I'll need to do a shot of tequila before I wear them because I'm not convinced they're a good look for me). I am now down a size in the Real Straight jeans, which is exciting. I know - size is just a number blah blah blah but it feels GOOD.

Setbacks - I kind of fell off the wagon this weekend, eating out a few times (PF Chang's is not at all WW friendly)and discovering Reese Eggs at the grocery store. I'm not going to beat myself up over it, but I have a feeling I won't lose any weight this next week because of it. It's disappointing.

I want to share with you a goal of mine - however shallow it may be - and that is to fit into these pants:

They have been sitting in my closet for a good long time now. They've moved with me from place to place to place. I do a decent job editing my clothes and getting rid of things I don't wear anymore, but I've kept these around with the goal of fitting into them again. I bought them in high school almost exactly 10 years ago when Mrs. H and I got jobs at a movie store in the mall and had to wear only black and white. We watched Ferris Bueller's Day Off a million and a half times at that job, but that's a different story for a different day.

The pants are from Aeropostale and they're a size TINY. Really they're a 2 but that is tiny.

Is it silly to fit into a pair of pants I wore in high school? Well... yeah. But it's not just about the pants. It's about the way I felt when I was able to wear the pants. At that point in time, I didn't wonder 'does this make me look fat' about every item I tried on, and I felt comfortable in a bathing suit. I didn't look at myself in photos and get disgusted. And my goal is to feel that way again. I think it's a goal for many of you too! College, for a number of reasons, brought out my insecurities and even though I was still roughly the same size, it wasn't the same.

I haven't tried the pants on yet, and I'm sure they're not going to fit me right now. But I have hope, which is more than I had a few months ago. But as I'm looking at the rise on the pants, I'll just be trying them on, not wearing them. Pretty sure that they would go past my belly button! And that's even less desireable than my hangups with skinny jeans.
