It's not that I don't have other clothes to wear, it's just that the other jeans are bigger and if I wear them, I might be more comfortable...which could lead to bigger portions, or more late-night snacking.
Nothing says "Stop!" quite like a zipper stabbing the abdomen.
These jeans are my only size 12 skinny jeans (I know! Jumbo Shrimp- how do you call anything over a size 2 "skinny"?). They're my only hope (Obi Wan) against the barrage of Valentine's Day candy jumping off of the shelves into my cart.
Tonight after the boy's rugby game, we stopped off at the grocery for some pies-proper hot, meaty British food.
At the checkout there were left-over Cadbury "Scream" Eggs from Halloween, Christmas chocolate and Easter candy.
It's like they're all out to get me.
No one wants me to drop any of this baby weight (can I still call it "baby weight" when the "baby" is now 5?).
Trying to think carrots, dream broccoli, drink water. Must eat healthier!
I was set to eat more veggies until I saw this:
I always knew tomatoes couldn't be trusted.
naw, tomatoes are ok.
ReplyDeleteIt's the lima beans that'll kill you.
I wish I could squeeze into a size 12. that's why I'm launching a healthy challenge on my blog this month. I need challengers. Come join my insanity!
Clearly candy's safer. Of course this is coming at you from someone who would LOVE to squeeze into those 12's. Good luck. xoxo
ReplyDeleteI'm still stuffing my face with chocolate left over from Christmas. It's a nightmare, and although I wear my jeans hung low, I'm having no problems with them dropping to the ground anymore. I need to diet and I can't use baby weight as an excuse.
ReplyDeleteYou have not mentioned the Hot Cross Buns that I saw in the supermarket last week or have you eaten them all?
ReplyDeleteHow about some willpower?
You saw those five bags of Hershey's Candy Cane Kisses on FB that arrived on my doorstep didn't you? That should have been enough to last me for six months, but I'm nursing that last bag right now.
ReplyDeleteHILARIOUS you gotta be from da south to git it!! will I be the onwie won ta figger it's a tornada?
ReplyDeletespeakin a tornnnnaaaddddahhhsss we might be havin sum bad storms twoniite.
hahahahahahhaaaaa
OK now seriously a SIZE 12 IS SKINNY to some people. A size 12 could be sumbodies goal weight. @#$% a SIZE 14 could be!!!
arghhh grrrr you skinny brat!!! I hope you pop yer zipper!
You and me both. I've just about given up. I am taking a break from running since that wasn't doing any good. I figure I'll loose all this extra cushion in spring when the extra padding isn't needed to keep me warm. ;)
ReplyDeleteI never have trusted those darn tomatoes! :D
ReplyDeleteHope your week is going well in spite of the candy that is out to get you.
Groan!!
ReplyDeleteAnd you are so right! Candy is out to take over the world...one calorie at a time.
Sigh

damnyouautocorrect is my go-to site for giggles when i'm sad. then the giggles grow and before i know it, i'm laughing so hard i drool and can't form words.
ReplyDeletetomatoes are dangerous. i agree. blech.
ReplyDeleteAutocorrect is really evil! Too funny though.
ReplyDeleteBTW I heard that all the cool kids only wash their jeans ever few months or so, thus you are very on trend!
I dragged myself to the gym last night as a suit I bought just before Christmas was pinching me in my gut and abdomen while I was interviewing a candidate. I don't think I was supposed to be the squirmy one!
Good to see you again! Happy new year!
HA! Your baby is only five...mine turned 26 last September and he informed me that I can no longer call him my baby and I can no longer use him as an excuse for not fitting into any 'skinny' jeans! To the gym I go...
ReplyDeleteOMG i love your blog.
ReplyDeleteI never really follow blogs like yours but your blog is AMAZING.
