Re: Shopping for Jeans and struggling.....

[Guest guest]

Hi , glad to have you with us again. I wouldn't be surprised if you get

right back into IE - hopefully its like riding a bicycle ;-) Hope your hormones

get settled down for you, I know how that is - at the opposite end of the parade

(lack there of).

I used to live in jeans, but in the last few years the ones I saw were too

'teeny' for my tastes so I ended up wearing other pant styles that I used to

think of as 'dressy'! I can still garden in these if I want to and heck, they

are cheaper than jeans so why not? Besides I feel more nicely dressed in them

and as we all know, how we feel we look does lots for one's opinion of one's

self.

honestly don't know what my problem is as of lately.

and probably tried on 15 different pairs, and only one fit that I kind of

like..of course i ended up getting those so I wouldn't have to look any more.

But it just drained me for some reason. I went home last night and snapped at

my husband, cried at everything, and was just pitiful.

almost everything. So here's to getting back to the happiness I once had and

the normalcy I felt with food.

Honest for many years in most of my life. That would be slight surprise. When

it come to cost compare men and women's. Men's clothes are much cheaper than

women. So, for years I tend turn bought a couple pants through men's. Then

again I am such tomboy in my whole life. Thought lately there are very extreme a

few women's clothes that I actually like which is rare for me.

After years of watch other girls and women show off their body in tights clothes

enough to shook my head when they told me how fat they are. I was think Hello,

what's with picture here??? Realized that so many has low self-esteem. I have

very low self-esteem when it come to bras. God, I have always bought sport bras

instead of regular bras. Because it's so hard to find regular size that fit me.

Meaning have to special order for it. Forget it I am gonna stick with sport

bras.
