Day 9 - The desperation dance

Happy Friday!!! So, today I decided to get a baseline to see how close or far I am to getting into a pair of size 16 jeans. In order to get this baseline, I had to do what I call the desperation dance. Many of you are familiar with the dance if not the title. It is where you start to put on a pair of pants and then do the following: pull, push, plead, and pledge never to eat bad again as long as these stupid things fit. Then through divine intervention (and a lot of sweat and effort), they are where they are supposed to be. Then the next challenge begins...getting them buttoned. When in doubt, lay on a flat surface and you will be amazed at how easy those suckers button. So, this is what I did (including the bed scenario). Needless to say, if I had to choose between a smaller size pair of jeans or breathing, I will always choose breathing! Ok, let's be honest...it would depend on the pair of jeans. :)

After conducting my test, I realize that I am not ready for a size 16 yet. Notice the word YET! I have no doubt that by the end of the month I will be ready to slip into a size 16 (or at least not dance my way into them).

Have a great day!
