The Dateable Dork

I’m sure you’re probably sick of hearing about my Weight Watchers stories, but I just cannot believe how freaking amazing it feels to have lost that weight!  I’m feeling fucking fantastic!!!  It’s as if a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders (not to mention my hips, thighs, and ass), and I feel absolutely liberated and am so fucking proud of myself for accomplishing my goal and kicking that extra blubber to the curb.  And the ultimate validation?  The skinny jeans!  God damn, I can’t believe I’m wearing them again!  I had seriously accepted the fact that I would never wear them again, that they had long-since expired and would be an artifact of my mid-20s, never again to see the light of day or the outside of my closet.  In fact, I *almost* donated them when I cleaned out my closet this winter, but good thing I decided to keep them around, because they fit and look great!  Ah, this feels so good.  I am in a complete state of weight-loss bliss.  Love it, love it, love it.

And in celebration of my newly-skinny self, I decided to wear my skinny jeans to the office today.  I don’t think I’ve ever worn them to the office because I usually don’t prance around at work in anything that tight, but today I thought, what the hell?  I deserve to strut around for a day in these jeans, showing off my sweet little ass to all my coworkers who have listened to my incessant WW stories over the past 6 weeks… and who have also been super encouraging and motivating.  So I did it!  And I have to say, I looked fantastic today.  I was so happy with myself that I even snapped some crappy mirror-shots this morning before I left my apartment to document how great I looked and felt.

         

In the first shot, you can see how freaking tall and lean I look – so great!  I wore my boots with the 4-inch heels, so I am officially 6 feet tall in this photo.  LOVE IT.  My legs are nice and long, the jacket cinches in my waist a little, and I just love the entire look.  (Sorry boys, but my hair was up today due to the rain/humidity.  You can see a little curly lock hanging down – that’ll have to do for today!)  The second shot shows how amazing my ass looked in these jeans – I know it’s a crappy/blurry shot, but you get the idea.  This photo really makes me want to grab my own ass because it is just *that* juicy.  I know I must sound ridiculously narcissistic in this post, but I don’t care!  I love how I look and am not afraid to say it.  So sue me!  : )

Not surprisingly, my slimmer body and the skinny jeans that surrounded it garnered a few compliments at the office today, including the fact that I “look fantastic” and my coworkers “can really see the difference.”  Oh, I was just eating it up with a spoon, I’m telling you.  : )  I didn’t even care that I got absolutely soaked during the rain this morning and took half the day to dry off (why oh why did I leave my umbrella at home?) because I was floating on a cloud the entire day.  So freaking awesome.

I apologize if this post is about to make you barf, but I can’t help all the gushing right now.  It’s such a rewarding feeling to accomplish something that you set out to do, and it’s nice to know that I’m capable of improving my life (at least in ways that don’t require reliance on anyone else, like dating).  I wonder what I should do next?  I’ve been thinking about trying out a body sculpting class that a friend goes to every week – I’m curious to see how much of a difference it would make (and also how much it costs).  Exciting times! 

Ok, I’m off to go float around my apartment as I gaze affectionately at my new body and contemplate the Grecian marble statue of myself that perhaps I’ll build in my spare time, haha.  : )

Hope you all had as fabulous of a day as I did!  (If you want to gush about any recent accomplishments in the comments, this is the post to do it.  Congrats to us all!)
