I have spent a lot of time in bed lately -- though I have an excuse. I broke my ankle over 3 months ago and couldn't put any weight on it until last Wednesday, and now I'm only allowed to put 25 lbs on it. So I *should* be in bed. But the truth is, I wouldn't be if I hadn't gained so much weight (again, we blame this on the ankle, but it's really because of all the bagels and cheesecake I've been eating -- in bed!) My jeans are now 3 sizes to small and there's no way I'm going shopping in sweat pants *and* crutches! Anyway, I still have energy to shampoo and condition my hair. So I only brush it a few times a week ... the messy hair look is totally in ... in bed. <BR/><BR/>Keep writing! Maybe when I can actually walk, I'll start exercising and stop eating cheesecake. I miss my skinny jeans and I'm not yet brave enough to by fat-girl jeans.

And don't even get me STARTED on the thought of shaving my legs every day!!!<BR/> shelleyUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07814669365421252185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-265148533346763057.post-680491462065472312007-11-08T13:37:00.000-08:002007-11-08T13:37:00.000-08:00Dear "So what if i'm perpetually single,"I think y...Dear "So what if i'm perpetually single,"<BR/>I think you and I could be best friends.

Don't label it as fat girl jeans ...Jeans are Jeans. Don't label it as fat girl jeans or else you're setting yourself up for failure and you already have enough hurdles to overcome than the ones you're setting up yourself.

Oh do i know. my revelation came to me last year, when I realized that my favorite store no longer carried my jean size. or was it that i no longer FIT into the jeans that my store carried? But anyways, since I am in college, and plenty of people wear sweats, i took it upon myself to give myself a little break, spend $20 on a pair of MSU sweatpants (go spartans!) instead of a $55 dollar pair of jeans PLUS shipping since i can only get my size onLINE now. hurrah. but anyways, fast foreward to the future. I am now a size 17, and i own 2 pairs of jeans. one is a cotton pair, which i refuse to wear because they actually restrict movement, and another is a cotton spandex blend, which shows my buttcrack at every available moment. So now, here i am, sitting at my computer in my sweat pants from american eagle. Trendy? yes. warm? yes. make me look disgusting? double yes. I now have several pairs of sweat pants, only 2 pairs i allow myself to wear in public. and coincidentally they are the only pairs of pants public ever SEES me in. u do the math :'( hehe good to see another blogger! i found u on SELF.com btw :DMySizeBarbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11974637083243446330noreply@blogger.com
