I have. A few weeks ago I was getting ready for work and my cute dress pants were tight and made my butt look big. I thought to myself, "That's weird, these used to fit me. They must be tight from being freshly washed."
I slipped into jeans last weekend--jeans I have had for years. Those were tight.
A few days later I tried on another pair of dress capris. Same thing--they used to fit but now they don't. I REALLY wanted to wear them to work, so I did. After a few house sitting at a desk with very tight pants and a cup of coffee I was over trying to hold on to these capris. I went home at lunch and slipped in to a much more comfortable skirt.
Thank goodness skirts will always fit.
But even so, I was refusing to believe and accept what was going on. The very next day I wore dress shorts. They are cute pin striped ones I bought no more than 2 months ago. I had to suck in to put them on.
That night, I accepted it. I have indeed gained weight since I have A) gotten married and B) started my office job. After all, there's no time to work out and there is a snack drawer. That's right, an entire drawer of snacks. I told myself it was okay I was dipping into the drawer since most of what I was grabbing was in 100 calorie packs. Those are good for you..right? In addition to that though, I drink a lot of coffee and sweet tea.
For so long I thought I had one of those bodies that never gained weight no matter what you put in it. I was so wrong.
This weekend we are going home to where we are from to visit family for Independance Day. I will get to jump on my mom's scale and finally learn the truth (it's be a looong time since I've done that!)
My goal for the summer: Fit back into my dress pants and jeans and have less of a badonkadonk.
It wouldn't be a problem if food didn't taste so darn good!

Totally went through a VERY similar thing recently. The number isn't fun but it is a jump-start to the motivation!
