Shortly after the beginning of March, I ended up with either the flu or a case of food posioning. Either way, I laid on the floor in my bathroom for several days praying for nuclear holocaust. After that, I've been on sort of an unintended diet. I'm not going to lie, I need to loose weight. Since March, I've gone down a size and a half. Much of this comes from the fact I finally quit drinking so much Mountain Dew. I still occasionally drink pop, but I can have a can of Sunkist or root beer, and be satisfied. When I would drink Mountain Dew, I'd have like 3-4 cans in one sitting.
I've also lost my desire for fried foods, again, not a bad thing. Except for mozzarella sticks. I have had the worst cravings for mozzarella sticks and no, I'm not pregnant.
The worst part about losing weight is being in that stage where few of my clothes fit and I'm hesitant to either A) buy smaller stuff and B) get rid off the too big stuff. This predicament broke my heart on Sunday when I was choosing something to wear to a date.
I blame the movie Love Story. In the movie, Ali MacGraw's character wears a pair of white pants with a navy blue t-shirt and gold hoop earrings. I can't tell you how much I feel in love with this look. I've tried in vain to find a picture, and this is the closest I could come:
So I went to recreate this look, minus the amazing tan. I located a navy blue polo, the silver Fashion Bug sandals from the previous post, and the most sensational pair of white jeans from Michael Kors. I have to tell you about these jeans. I got them late last summer, maybe early fall, at Marshall's for $20. They fit beautifully, made my rear end look like a million bucks, and had the added bonus of not being see-through. However, I did buy them right at the end of the season and only had the chance to wear them I think once. So, I reach in my closet and pull these pants from heaven out for the first time this summer. I pull them on and...they're too big. Not just a tad too big, they're really too big. I can take them off without having to unbutton or unzip them. I haven't been able to find a pair that is anywhere near close to my beloved Kors pair, so I'm thinking of having them altered.
I still wore the pants to my date, and thought I looked cute. But I'm now afraid of buying new clothes, because I don't want to have to buy jeans and such now only to replace them again in maybe two months. Belts can only go so far.
Anyone else in this same situation, or have been before? I'd love some advice.
