It's time to face reality............I am no longer a size 6. I've
fought it as long as I can, but tight jeans and a muffin top are not
working for me. Turning 50 blows! I wear jeans every day and have about 4
pair that are size 6 (I finally got rid of my size 4's last year that
were in my drawer for years). Now, I have 2 size 6 jeans that I just
don't even try to wear anymore, they are just too tight and not
comfortable. The other 2 pair aren't too bad, but tight enough that they
make me look like I now have a muffin top. Up until about 8 years ago I
was around a size 2 or 4 - since I was a teenager. I had a rock hard stomach. Then I got in the
car accident and I think between that and hitting my 40's the weight has
gradually added on. After the car accident I didn't do any exercising
at all - it just hurt my back and neck too much. So, I went up to a size
6. I've been ok with that, being in my late 40's.
Welcome to middle age.....lol
ReplyDeleteCheer up, it could be worse. 8-))
I would take size 6 any day right now :) My jeans are size 10 ever since I had a second kid... It's been a while since I was size 2!
ReplyDeleteI know exactly how you feel. I was a 4 for most of my life until about 37 then I had a brief stint at 6 and now I am a solid 8. Now that I am cruising into menopause I hope I dont have to go to a 10. I buy all of my pants at the Goodwill so at least they are #1 cheap and #2 have already been washed a number of times so there is no surprise shrinkage like many new jeans after you wash them.
ReplyDeleteThere are worse things in life than being a size.8. ;) A well fitting, nice pair of jeans is a good thing!! Be happy!!
ReplyDeleteIt is what it is - learn to just accept the fact that your metabolism slows down as you age. Seriously. It happens. It's nothing compared to women who are dealing with............well, cancer, or a life-threatening/altering illness. If you really wanted to do something about it, you would. But it's definitely not the end of the world! ;-)
ReplyDeleteYeah getting old sucks, I've been a size 8 for years.
