Those Darn Skinny Jeans

In all honesty, I got started for vain reasons.🤦‍♀️But that’s ok. Because it got me started.

▫️

😩I wanted to be comfortable + confident taking a picture🤳without hiding behind my kids

😩I wanted to be able to try on anything in my closet without ending up with 11 outfits on the floor around me + me ready to scream

😩And gosh darn it I wanted to be able to put on my ‘skinny’ jeans without having to jump into them and it be a cardio session just to get them on without feeling like they were going to split

I remember the first moment after pushing hard for 21 days in our group, where I put on those skinny jeans with ease. I could have cried right there.

See it’s not actually about the jeans though. I’ve learned this finally over time. It’s that as a mom of three, I have to fight things all day long, every👏day. And the last thing I want to do is fight myself or fight some pair of skinny👖jeans. I fought for everyone else so much that it left me depleted sitting in my closet crying because my jeans won’t button.

But girl if you fight for yourself first..just give yourself 30 min a day....you’ll see things start to turn around. Takes time. No magic pill. But you can do it. It starts out all about vanity, then it turns in to bettering your sanity.
