I had to buy some new jeans. My old trusty faves which were a bargain purchase in Melbourne, have been a little errr.. big. Crotch hanging low, g-banger occassionally popping out (NOICE) from falling down my now-flatter butt. But I didn't want to part with them.
I really really liked a pair I saw in a shop window. Upon scouting them out they were Skinny leg jeans. Crap, I've never ever fit into a pair of skinny legs... I can't get them up my non-skinny legs. Then I found another pair that were even nicer. These were called "Super Skinny". Ahhhh double crap. But the stubborn cow in me wanted to try them on anyway. So I took in a size 10 - a bigger size should mean I can get them up my legs, right, and they're usually quite small makes :). I also took in a size 8, just in case I was having a "skinny" day. I walked out of the shop with not just a pair of the elusive Skinny jeans, but a pair of Super Skinny jeans...
.... in a size 6. (If I could insert the boogly eyed smiley face here I would).
I stood there 'arguing' with the shop attendant - "I can't get these, I'm not a size 6, maybe I should try the 7s." She rolled her eyes - "Darl, you've got them on and they fit you perfect, the 7s will be baggy". My brain couldn't accept that I'm a smaller me now. She must have thought I was a fruit loop taking in a size 10. I think the manufacturers have finally gotten the point that only stick insects could fit into skinny jeans previously, and altered the sizing for the general population. Or maybe I am classified as a stick insect now.
Either way, I got sh!t-hot new jeans!! WHOO HOO!! I wore them to the basketball last night, they are COMFY!!

For Christmas, I got a pair of (what used to be) gorgeous earrings from the f*ckface (as he is affectionately known) ex. As you know 10 days later it was all over red rover. I couldn't wear the earrings for a bit, then I got over that... Recently the diamonte stones had started to fall out and the earrings went a funny colour. I found the receipt thank goodness - of course I had it, he had the responsibility level of a dead fly - and thought I'd try my luck returning them.
BINGO!!!
Not only could I return them, I didn't even have to get them replaced for the same pair. I can pick whatever the hell to the equal value.
So now I have a gift card to spend on any sort of jewellery thanks to him, and best of all, there will be no reminder of him!
What a productive shopping day yesterday! :)

So when I get to the airport, I have to look for the stick-insect in the super-skinny jeans and some kind of bling?
Cool. I'll be on the lookout.
Ha! Kek cracks me up! You are so lucky to have her as a friend!
But back to my comment....you my friend are a SUPERSTAR!
How awesome is it that it took that f#*kface hurting you so much to make you completely turn your life into the one of your dreams?
You now have the body that you always wanted, a place of yor own and a really positive and healthy outlook on life! What more could a girl want?
I am on my way too and I have to say that kickarse jeans are my biggest motivation! I cannot wait to reach my goal weight/size and parade my sexy arse around in 'em!
Thanks Selina you are really making me motivated at the moment! My brother lives in Brisbane so maybe one day I might venture there and come to your gym to get smashed Selina style!
Keep up the good work chickie!
