I admit it, I put on a few pounds in the last year. I mean, it's not like I'm out of control or anything, but being in a serious relationship has definitely made me ease up a bit on the daily work-outs and watching the carb intake and all that crap. Plus, my boyfriend and I like a drink (or 2 or 3) together in the evenings and well, that adds up after awhile and before you know it, even the "fat jeans" are feeling tight. Not to worry, though, I'm aware of it and I'm doing something about it (no more second or third cocktail every night...but I'll still have one, I mean come on, I'm not a nun! And I'm back to working out more again.) That said, it'll be a month or two before I'm down to my fighting weight and in the meantime, there are a few things I love to do when I'm still in my "chubby phase," like:
- Enjoy my bigger boobs
- Go to Saks, try on pants 4 sizes too small for me and ask the skinny, uppity sales lady, "Do these make my ass look big?"
- You should just see her squirm
- I mean, it's totally worth any potential embarrassment on my part
- Rub my belly and tell my boyfriend I think I might be preggers and then watch the color drain from his face
- Shoe shop! After all, feet don't change size no matter how many Cape Cods you drink or Cupcakes you eat
Right now, I've got my eye on these...
