Comfy Jeans

So the other day I had to throw out my favorite jeans. They were quite comfortable but holes kept re- appearing in the rear even after mending them with a patch. The material just wouldn't hold up anymore. It was tempting to keep them holes and all, but I knew that they needed to go. Now that they are in the trash I've realized that I was getting too comfortable with my body. At first on my journey I had such a hard time loving myself. Now I've gone the other way. I stopped caring. I stopped tracking. I stopped exercising. Those jeans- and other clothes that I have been hanging onto- have been holding me back. I've been holding me back. I still have more work to do to get rid of the things that are holding me back, but I've made the first step in the journey. Its time to get back to the basics the way I first did when I joined MFP. Logging daily, watching what I put into my mouth, and squeezing in exercise often. It was through that that I saw awesome success. I have a little catch-up to do to get back to where I was and I know that I can do it!

    I still have a hard time getting rid of some of my larger clothes. Though for me it's more of a financial matter. Hope you get back into the swing of things soon. I do love some goodwill myself and did start to try things on and if they aren't flattering on me I don't buy them. No one wants just to look okay. :)
