Default That awkward moment when. . .

You catch a glimpse of your backside in the mirror for the first time in a while!


I was at Target and decided I'd go ahead and try on a couple pairs of 16s as my 18s are too big. Glad I took 2 brands in because 1 fit beautifully and 1 was about 2 inches from closing. Meh, it happens, no biggie.

Anyway, as I was changing I caught a view of my rear in only undies, and yikes! While I'm thrilled my butt and legs are smaller, they are looking rather, well, yucky! I'm weight training (3 days a week), running, and doing other various cardio (6 days a week), so I know I will eventually look good and all those lunges and squats will pay off. But man, things really do get worse before they get better.

I definitely think it's a good thing I cannot see my butt unless I really try. And I won't be really trying for a while.

I think that is why our butt is in the back. It's so people with a good one aren't so distracted by it, and the rest of us are given some mercy.

The pub across the road from me has a full length mirror in the ladies, positioned in such a way that as you're leaving, you get a full frontal view of yourself shifting round to a side view. I assume it's only there thanks to sadism on the part of the staff. That mirror was the final straw for me.

Three and a half months and forty pounds on, I went in there the other day and was astounded at how much smaller my bum is. It was an awesome moment. So when your bum's looking better, head back to Target and show that mirror just how awesome you are!

So true. I was trying on clothes in a changing room last weekend (as opposed to my usual guess my size and go at Costco), and I was rather dismayed at the way my body appears to be melting. Not good.

1st of all I love the way you talk! Bums and pubs are so much more fun than butts and bars LOL! 2nd of all, I will definitely be going back to Target to show that smug mirror how fabulous my booty is in a few months!
