Petit Foodie

Recently, Angela @ Oh She Glows suggested we all take the Size: Healthy Challenge.  She suggests we all follow her lead and mark through the pointless numbers on our jeans and write SIZE HEALTHY on them.  I think it’s a brilliant idea!

I remember one time going into a Guess store!  I was so excited and felt so cool (NOTE: I’m a small town gal it doesn’t take much to get me giddy!) I grabbed the trendiest pair of jeans I could find, in the perfect size I thought I should be wearing!  Much to my dismay I could barely wiggle one leg into them and the thought of getting my caboose synched in them was pretty much impossible (although I’m sure it was quite a humorous sight  trying *thank goodness walls/mirrors can not talk!).  Instead of going and getting a much bigger size than I was used to wearing I choose to walk out of the store with nothing.  I remember being so confused and sad leaving the store empty handed. I didn’t understand why I didn’t fit into the size I normally wear ….at Old Navy I could easily fit into the size I picked up at the Guess store…what was the difference??? I knew I hadn’t that gained weight since last buying a pair of jeans.?!  I think they were trying to tell me THE NUMBER DOES NOT MATTER!

I also recall many times walking into GAP and dreaming of buying the dazzling size 00!  So LAME of me! But sadly now I know that I by far was not alone in that thinking and it’s time to make changes for everyone!

It saddens me greatly that numbers get in the way of our happiness so often.  If you put on a pair of jeans that make you feel confident and beautiful that is all that matters not the number pressing against your behind!  I mean come on if your caboose looks HAWT NO ONE IS GOING TO CARE WHAT THE NUMBER ON THE OTHER SIDE OF YOUR JEANS IS!!
