Buy the Bigger Size

I used to HATE wearing jeans.

For the past few years, I’ve worn the same size jeans. That size used to fit me and sometimes even fit a little loose. Recently, my jeans have become more and more uncomfortable. Even though I happen to weigh less now than I did a couple years ago, that size just didn’t fit my body shape anymore. But for some reason I felt the need to keep buying it. Something inside of me felt ashamed at the idea of buying a bigger size.

THEN, a few weeks ago, I bought some new jeans in a new size. And lemme tell ya, wow it makes a difference. I’m still a leggings and sweatpants girl all the way, but I love that I no longer dread the thought of squeezing into my jeans. I know it seems silly, and I hope no one else experiences this, but I wanted to share in case you do. We lose weight. We gain weight. Our bodies change as we age (especially women). Buy the bigger size. There are more important things to worry about.
