Default Wearing my 14's today!!!

Yay, i was looking for a pair of jeans to wear to work to impress the new cutie on the air, and my regular jeans just seemed too baggy to be impressing. I pulled out my 14's I haven't worn in over a year and a half, and i put them on. They are snug enough at the waist but not too snug. I am wearing them now and they feel fine. I also am not noticeing that mushroom effect of the upper belly hanging over the top of the jeans. I look normal in them. I am sooooo happy. I almost thought i'd never get back into these jeans.

I HATE THE MUSHROOM EFFECT!!!! You go girl on the 14's. And have fun with all the flirting. Sounds like you're making your job fun. Keep the positive attitude. You rock!

I prefer the term "muffin top" myself...it more accurately describes how it got there in my case

By the way...nice to see so many skinny chicks up here and then see you weigh the exact same as me and are in the same size. Makes me think maybe my body image needs to be updated!

okay, hadn't really heard anything from the cutie...but i did have my date last night. we went to eat chinese....then we went bowling. we had a lovely time talking. we must have been at the restraunt for an hour and half just talking. it was a buffett, so it's not like we had to wait on our food. i really felt bad because i did not eat my money's worth. i ate a small amount of rice (maybe half a cup) and 3 big pieces of sesame chicken and two bites off of an egg roll. but it satisfied me. then we went bowling. he beat the pants off of me...which by the way, i kept having to pull them up because they were 16's and too big for me. but they were the only black pair i had to go with my black top i was wearing. before we even left my house, he stayed and talked to my 3 girls for a half hour. wasn't that sweet??!!! then he wanted to know didn't i want to take them with us. i was like...."Uh, no!!" lol. then after bowling he wanted to go hang out with my kids some more, but i told him they were in bed. so he just came in and sat and talked with me for about 30 minutes. when he gets his kids next week, he wants to get together with my kids and hang out. isn't that sweet???!!! but i doubt it will happen because my kids will be in school all day and we work opposite shifts. but i still thought that was sweet. and he told my little girls that he would take us all out next time. ahhhhhhh. so anyways, it was a good night.
