I totally could have written this post. Sometimes I am like, “why is it so goddamn hard to just CLOTHE myself?” you know?

If you figure out the secret to cookie-resisting success, let me know, okay?

This makes me want to drive down and go shopping with you. With the whole rowing thing, weight has ALWAYS been an issue for me. I was a heavy weight rower at 165 for a year before deciding to drop to be a lightweight at 130. Losing that weight? Was hard. The second hardest thing, right after losing the weight that I did to become a coxswain. From 130 to 115. I’m 5’7 and I’m NOT supposed to be 115. I realized I wasn’t happy there, even though I was constantly told how good I looked.
I liked it better when I stopped coxing and went back to my normal weight. I run as much as possible, row when I can, and best of all I FEEL healthy.
And besides, I’ve seen your pictures on FB and you’re gorgeous. So don’t worry about it.

I’m commenting here just to echo the “you’re so fucking NOT alone-ness” that others have written, but then I’m emailing you.

You aren’t alone. I think at one point or another many women go through very similar love-hateness with their body.

Keep your chin up doll!

You are definitely not alone. Definitely. I’ve had many a breakdown in fitting rooms.

Right now I get the dive fit or some equally lame name ones from Old Navy. I tell myself, I will get them cheapy ones until I get down to at least an 8 and then I will splurge and buy some fancy smancy ones!

You are not the least bit alone. Weight issues, sigh. I hate it. I’m on a diet right now and for the first time this year I feel like I actually have the will power to do it.

I get my jeans from Old Navy because 1) they’re cheap and 2) they have 4 different rises. I know they’re just regular jeans and all, but I don’t have the money right now to be buying premium denim.

omg I’ve been having sooo much trouble finding jeans lately. I hate complaining about my body because I know I’m pretty thin, but ughhh I hate the way my waist/stomach looks in jeans. I feel your pain!

If you were in Boston, we could shop together
