Pass the Celery Sticks, Please
As I was cleaning out my closet, I came across the jeans I had saved just to prove to myself that I was once really was that thin. Then I found the pair of jeans that I saved because for years I believed that I would fit back into them "someday". So I did something mortifying: I laid those two pair of jeans on top of the size I wear today. This is how it looks:
Scary, isn't it? Just for the record, I currently have three different sizes of pants that fit exactly the same (none of them, unfortunately, the smaller sizes shown.) I spent some time measuring the larger sizes against the smallest one, and they are all identical in waist and hip. This proves to me that there is no such thing as quality control in the garment industry. (Am I good at rationalizing, or what! I couldn't possibly really need that biggest size!)
I think I will print out this picture and put it on my refigerator. Place your bets on whether I will:
A) Eat less and exercise more
B) Tear up the damn picture!

Oh mom....
It's just more of you to love....
That is an awesome motivational picture. I wish I'd saved some of my skinny pants, but geez...it's been so long.
I have a blogger acct. but don't blog there. If you want to visit my site, I'm at:

well, i guess it depends on whether you want to lose the weight or not, if you're not comfortable with the weight you are, then the picture stays, but if you're happy and content with your weight, that pic is going bye bye!
I just threw out all my little clothes last week...maybe I should have taken pics of those and put them on the fridge...good idea!
I went to put on a pair of jeans this morning and they wouldn't go up past my bottom. Hubby started laughing and told me that I have developed a bit of junk in the trunk.
Of course I gave him the evil eye.

I always get rid of the big jeans when I lose weight, and keep the small jeans when I gain weight. Incentive? I don't know, maybe it would be better to treat myself to a shopping spree when I lose!
I'd be frightened to do this .... !
