With shaking hands and a pounding heart I went into my closet this morning, and took the pair of shorts from the bottom of the pile. These shorts aren't just any shorts. They are THE shorts. The "goal shorts".
Now, for those of you who know me, I am a true hourglass, curvy woman. I have boobs and a butt and I am SO not ashamed to admit it. I love my body type, and always have. I am strong and athletic with calves that look great with a pair of heels or trainers. However, with curves comes a constant battle of clothes not fitting, or not fitting correctly (too big in the waist, too small in the butt, too much boob showing, meteor shower on my thighs shows, the list goes on. I haven't really lost any weight in the past year, although I have been working out tons and strength training like a mad woman.
Fast Forward again to my closet this morning. I pulled out my shorts. They are navy blue, Gap chino like shorts. What's more American than navy blue shorts? I put both legs in and BAM! Like Emeril, they fit. This is a victory for me, proof that I don't (more like refuse) to deprive myself of foods I love, work out every single day to exhaustion, and let the scale dictate health.
Don't get me wrong, I have lots of goals for my health, however, it felt great today to shimmy in my skinny shorts and button them without sucking in :)
Cheers to a healthy 4th (I WILL be eating s'mores and a burger)!
