Well, summer has been a lot of fun. However, irregular sleep patterns (sleeping past 5am!), irregular eating habits and a little too much snacking has taken its toll on my body. I’ve gained a little weight, which is leading to most of my jeans and slacks not fitting well (hence why I’ve been wearing the same pair of black shorts about 75% of the time lately).
These Gap Curvy jeans were too loose on me at the end of the school year, but right now, they fit perfectly. I’m happy with my body, and I’m not freaking out and going on a crash diet or anything. I’m working on making some small changes in my diet, and I’m pretty sure things will regulate themselves once I’m working again. For now, I’m just happy that I didn’t get rid of these jeans. I think that it makes sense to hold onto at least a few items of clothing that are either too large or to small on you, because weight generally fluctuates.
The important thing I’ve learned is to always be kind to yourself. Beating yourself up about weight fluctuation and getting depressed only makes things worse. A shift in weight doesn’t stop you from being a beautiful person, but having a foul attitude about things will.
