So I have to fess up about something. It's a little embarrassing, but I have vowed to tell you the truth. So here it is.Up until last week, I was still wearing maternity pants. That means that I was wearing them for almost 7 months after the birth of my baby.
Pathetic, I know!
A large part of the reason this was the case is that I absolutely REFUSED to go out and buy new pants. I was too big to wear my pre-pregnancy pants and I didn't want to spend money on a larger size when I was completely determined to lose weight. So I continued wearing my maternity pants figuring I'd be more motivated to lose weight and get into my old jeans again. I thought that by buying new jeans that I was "settling" and showing myself that I accepted my current weight.
I've been able to wear my pre-pregnancy jeans for over a month now. But they were still a little tight at first so I'd pull my maternity pants out when I was at home and feeling lazy. But I have finally reached that point where the regular jeans are fitting well and I haven't put my maternity pants on for almost 10 days. Today I finally packed them into a space bag and bid them farewell.
Good riddance! Yay for this non-scale victory!
Any day you can get into something that you couldn't before is a reason for celebration! :-)
