I was watching an episode of Sex and The City the other day where Miranda realises she can fit in to her skinny jeans, having lost weight from ‘becoming a single mom and having no time to eat.’ In the words of Samantha, that’s not a diet I’ll be trying, but it did make me realise I have a pair of jeans in my cupboard that I’ve been hanging on to for some time in the hope that I’d fit in to them.
They’re not my skinny jeans, in fact they’re ones that I bought because I didn’t fit in to my size 12’s anymore, but I think I must have bought them on a day where I had the flu, because even though they were my ‘fat jeans’ I haven’t been able to fit in to them since I purchased them a couple of years ago. Very depressing when you can’t even fit in to your fat clothes.
Anyway, this morning when I was packing for the gym, I went to grab my regular jeans, (the now regular ones, not my 12’s), when I had this epiphany that I might actually be able to fit in to my fat skinny jeans! My day to day jeans now consist of a series of patches held together by the remnants of what was once material, but I have been holding out on buying a new pair until I could fit back in to a 14.
Standing in the change rooms this morning after my workout was a moment of excitement filled with trepidation. Although I knew I had lost weight having weighed myself earlier, I still didn’t know if my skinny fat jeans would fit me. I slipped them on and.... they fit! In fact, not only did they fit, but they’re almost what I’d call loose!!!!! And because I haven’t been able to wear them since I bought them they still have that brand new jeans stiffness, which means when they’ve been worn a few times they’ll actually need a belt!

So although I haven’t bought a new pair of jeans, I’ve gained a new pair. And although I might not look as hot as Miranda did in her skinny jeans in that episode of SATC, I certainly feel some of that positive outlook Miranda did when she fit back in to her jeans.
Unfortunately, in my excitement of the possibility of maybe fitting in to my jeans, I didn’t quite pack my gym bag properly and forgot my bra. The new svelte me was lost a little when I had to leave the change rooms with my boobs tucked in to my new skinny jeans......
