about getting from point A to point B in the most interesting ways possible

If you're a large woman in America, your whole life is an opportunity to feel self-conscious, embarrassed, resentful and way too big. You can hide in the corner or on the couch, you can go to therapy, or you can put on your lycra bike shorts and get out there and move.

my jeans permalink

I have a couple pair of size 22 jeans. Voila, my last plateau, maybe five years ago. Back then, they were snug—the sort of jeans you think twice about wearing when you were going to be sitting alot or going out to eat in.

Today I am wearing one of those pairs, and I just realized that I can slide them over my hips without unfastening them. Oh my gosh.

I weigh about 5 pounds more than I did then, but boy, do clothes fit different. I wish I were seeing these sorts of changes on my upper body, though. I may have to do some clothes shopping before Austin. :)
