Retail (I Now Need) Therapy

I bought a new Weight Watchers bathroom scale that measures all kinds of stuff like body fat, bone density, BMI, etc. How exciting!

While I've only lost 7 pounds, I was excited to see that my body fat percentage puts me in the "Fit" category for a woman my age! But then I saw on another site that I'm just "Fair" or "Average". So I've downloaded the first graph and that's the one I'll be using.

I went to Macy's today to get another pair of my favorite True Religion jeans since my old ones ripped (by no fault of my own). I figured I was ready for the next size smaller anyway. I got sidetracked by the swimsuit section and against my better judgement, decided I should try on some bikinis...since I'm fit now and all.

The bad news is that I will not be wearing the one on the right just yet.


The good news is that I didn't crumple into a sloppy blubbering sobbing mess only to have the sales woman come in with a white chocolate mocha with double whip to console me (that's never happened but it's a fantasy of mine). The one on the left was kind of o.k.

I found this cute top! The sparkles and strange diagonal stripes help to camouflage the muffin top by confusing and distracting (blinding) the eye of the beholder. I love it.


And (drum roll please) here are my new True Religions in a size smaller! Yes...I took a picture of my butt. Yes...I'm showing you a picture of my butt. The point being....they are a smaller size. I tried to go even one size smaller (the waist gaps a bit) but the sales woman assured me that these are the right size. Hey, you can't blame a girl for trying! (to fit into the smallest possible size that doesn't require pliers and a bed...c'mon we've all been there)


 

So I'm almost about halfway to my goal. My goal being to wear the swimsuit on the right and not need to use trickery and hijinks to camouflage my "trouble spots". I think I can, I think I can....!
