Tehya Posted July 2, 2014 Report Share Posted July 2, 2014 Here is the first one on my journey to recommit myself: I think this is a positive thing, but I'm not sure LOL. I went out and bought some shorts last night since I only had 3 pairs of non-gym shorts. I went for the same size as most of my jeans - 18 - and tried them on. The legs were a little snug but the waist was to big. Okay not a big deal, I don't have an issue wearing a belt. So as I am wearing them today, I am feeling them starting to slid off. So I go to the bathroom and try to pull them down without unbuttoning them, not thinking I would be able to, I was amazed that I could fully take them off without unbuttoning them at all. I am actually scared to try on a smaller size for the fear of not being able to pull them up or button them. With the fear of not being able to put them on or button them if I do try them on will cause me to start feeling bad. I know its an irrational fear, but it is still one that I have. 3 Quote Tehya Here is myfitnesspal account Here is my battle log Here is my character Link to comment
Silo Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 That certainly is a positive thing You are making progress! It is kind of scary to try those smaller sizes. When I try on clothes and am not sure what size to pick I always try the bigger one on first because if it fits, good, and if it doesn't fit, it's a good thing to be able to go down a size. If I try on the smaller size and have to go up, it can be discouraging. The mind games we play with ourselves, right? Also, you might try washing them to see if they shrink a tiny bit (maybe let them air dry for now and then after a while you might try to dry them in the washer to shrink them more if they are big again.)

Jakkals Posted July 4, 2014 Report Share Posted July 4, 2014 Of course it is a woot. As long as it didn't fall down in public like mine did.

Tateman Posted July 8, 2014 Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 excellent woot. When I bought my last pair of jeans I did similar. But, I brought 3 different sizes to try on. One I knew would probably be way small. One I was hoping to fit in, then one where I thought I was probably at. I fit in the middle pair like I was hoping Quote Tateland.com, Instagram, Fitbit Link to comment
