So, part of the reason I love my heterosexual life mate Chelse is that she talks sense into me when I'm being ridiculous, and also because she puts up with me when I'm telling her about how my swim suit still does not fit and I only have 13 days until I leave for Hawaii (!!!) but still plan to make that happen somehow.
Last night I found myself conversing about this very fact with her, and she reminded me that around marathon-season last year I was particularly small, but that I am by no means moving in the other direction at a ridiculous speed. Which is what I feel like, frequently.
This led to a fashion show in front of my mirror, where I tried on my swim suit and discovered that the bitch FITS! Not as well as it did, and not as well as I'd probably like, but it goes on and my belly doesn't hang out like it was doing last time I tried it on. I have no idea what I weigh right now, or what I weighed when I tried it on--all I know is I've been trying to kick up the workouts a notch because it makes me feel good and definitely makes me feel better about how my clothes fit. Sure, certain areas are a little squishier than they were before, but I'll handle that. P.S. the new swimsuit (purchased online) is pretty cute, luckily, and fits as well as last summer's swim suit. Slightly squishy, but no one is perfect, right? In 13 days I'm not going to tone up all of a sudden, so I'm just going to roll with it and enjoy my trip wearing whatever the hell I decide to wear. Maybe I'll feel like swimming in a winter coat? Or naked? One just never knows. And frankly, I do not really care, because did I mention I'll be swimming in HAWAII? With my super cute boyfriend who will turn 30 while we are there.
My next mission are a certain pair of jeans... They're a size 11 (junior size, someone gave them to me, which makes them better because they're free), and I have no idea what size they are in real woman world, but they are cute and I would like them to zip, please.
I like having a mission. Listen up, cute pair of small jeans that make my butt look good--it is on!

Congratulations!!! I agree, if you're swimming in Hawaii it doesn't really matter what you're wearing. =)
An 11 in juniors is about the same as a 12 in womens. Not too much different. And I'm so proud of you for getting so tiny since I first met you! You are a fraction of your former self!
