I ...My ex wants to get together later this month... I haven't seen him in 5-6 yrs, and I've gained about 25 lbs since I last saw him (130 --> 155. But I'm 5'7... so not fat, but definitely fluffier :p). So I can totally relate to that story... except I wish I had known we were going to get together 6 mos ago, so I could also have had some extra motivation to shed the weight. <.<<br /><br />ANYWAY. I would buy jeans that are comfortable. You can always get them altered if you lose weight, right? <br /><br />And you look great in the pic, btw! I'm sure you look great now too ;)Sunflowershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02917160919955773944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8824441942893023866.post-83984676025551894192009-12-04T17:01:39.854-08:002009-12-04T17:01:39.854-08:00Holy cow, lady, you're gorgeous!
I agree with...Holy cow, lady, you're gorgeous!<br /><br />I agree with WellHeeled.

I think somewhere in the middle might be good.. maybe you can challenge yourself to lose 5-10 pounds, then buy a pair of looser jeans?<br /><br />Also, I've found that keeping fruit around me helps a lot. When I mindlessly eat, at least I'm mindlessly eating oranges or grapes.WellHeeledhttp://wellheeledblog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8824441942893023866.post-19417886577753989552009-12-01T13:04:05.779-08:002009-12-01T13:04:05.779-08:00While cleaning the closet the other day I found a ...While cleaning the closet the other day I found a pair of jeans I hadn't seen in years, a really nice pair I bought at my skinniest. It's unlikely I'll ever fit in them again, yet I hang on to them in the hopes that one day I will. I did let go of a lot of other skinny clothes :( Lately whenever I find myself outgrowing my wardrobe I get the motivation to diet, I have no desire to buy a whole new closet full of clothes. Definitely cheaper to just lose the excess weight, but it's not easier. I want to lose weight before the wedding but thus far I've done nothing to get me there. I haven't been to the gym in months! Want to go on a diet together?Miss Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15926161058644761041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8824441942893023866.post-60724874249328254262009-12-01T11:38:28.756-08:002009-12-01T11:38:28.756-08:00Especially with an issue like emotional eating, yo...Especially with an issue like emotional eating, you probably want to compromise.<br /><br />Buy 2 pairs of pants that fit. Or however many that you can keep going, but not so many that you get comfortable and put off working out/eating better.<br /><br />The thing about emotional eating is that it's the hardest to quit. I know all too well, I'm afraid. It's not something you can turn off right away. It's more something that you need to work on, thinking, "Why do I want to eat? What else could I do to comfort myself?" and sometimes you'll fail and it sucks. <br /><br />I find a lot of my eating happens when I'm not doing anything else with my hands. So I keep my hands busy, doing comments on other blogs or playing a game online or whatever. For awhile, I took up knitting/crocheting as a way to keep my hands busy and be productive. Heck, if you have to, play solitaire.<br /><br />The hardest thing for me is to read without eating. Nasty habit I picked up and have trouble shaking.<br /><br />I would also recommend getting some gum. When I'm stressed, I tend to get what I call a "chewing" hunger. I want thick pretzels or something to really work through. I've heard it's somewhat common. But I have loads of gum now, which I'm hoping will supplant that urge.<br /><br />Anyway, my point is that yeah, not buying new jeans could keep you motivated to lose weight. But it could also send you into a shame spiral (if you have a setback or whatever) that causes MORE eating. Then you really won't fit into your jeans and may eat even more. Not good.Abigailhttp://ipickuppennies.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
