no, don't get too excited... i definitely don't fit into a size 7 pair of jeans. but for me, this size 7 makes me feel just as elated. :) so if anyone is planning on proposing to me, 7 it is!
i know i've mentioned my previous sausage fingers before and idk what ring sizes mean to most people, but for me... when i was at my biggest, the options for rings were few and far between. i was solidly a size 10, sometimes 11. in addition to not being able to find any, who on earth would want to display something on a finger that they'd rather no one look at? i felt that way about myself in general, and being able to now buy rings/clothes/shoes (i recently discovered i can wear knee high boots, they zip up and everything) is somewhat a vanity thing... but it also proves how much my mind is also changing. i will wear this cute/pretty/sexy thing because i am confident enough in myself to be noticed. idk if that quite makes sense, but i'm chugging away at this process still... learning and growing one day at a time.
in 2 days, i will have been at this for a solid year. holy buckets.

Dude lady, that is so freaking awesome that you've reached a point where you are comfortable attracting attention!! You are one hot mama and you should STRUT your stuff.
ReplyDeleteI totally get where you're coming from. This weekend in Chicago i let LOOSE on a ton of cute new clothes I NEVER would have been brave enough to wear before.
YAY YOU!!!
Wow, you've come such a long way. Way to keep after it for an entire year. That's big-time dedication.
ReplyDeleteThat is way awesome and I'm smiling for you. :D
ReplyDeleteMy wedding ring is so large on me that I wear it on my middle finger now, and it can slip off without touching it if I'm not careful.
Wow. Well done. I can tell you are one determined chick just by reading your blog, but on your one year healthy lifestyle anniversary, I think you definitely need a major pat on the back and a hearty "well done!" I don't know how you do it, but I wish some of that conviction would bite me on the a** and get me going! Lovely to hear about your "evolution" too... sounds like a "happy beginning" to me...
ReplyDeleteI have never thought about those odd things like ring sizes and shoe sizes going down with weightloss. Really cool you can wear knee highed boots :)
ReplyDeleteA year is impressive dedication. I hope I can follow in your footsteps. Congrats.
ReplyDeleteWow, that's awesome. I freakin love hearing this coming from you. And congrats on going strong for a year!
