The Skinny Jean Experiment... Part One

And no, I didn't expect them to fit... but I want a basis of comparison so I decided to see just how "skinny" I need to be to fit into my skinny jeans.  I should perhaps explain my skinny jean so that I'm not the only one who knows what in the world I'm talking about.  Last year, and about 10 pounds ago, I bought a pair of Seven for All Mankind jeans off of eBay.  They are the size that TrueJeans.com says I was supposed to wear... Size 30 (EU not US).  They sell for over a hundred dollars and I would never pay full price for something like that so I got them on eBay for less than $40.  Well, they arrived and I was excited, except that when I put them on (and I did actually get them on and buttoned) I couldn't walk, breathe, or move.  So, in fact, I've never been able to wear my "skinny" jeans even when I was "skinny"-er.  

Back to this morning... I decided to give them a whirl to see how far I have to go and like I said, to give me a point of comparison.  The verdict?  Let's just say Julie has a few more pounds to go to even get back to the get them up and buttoned stage... never mind walking, breathing or moving.  I did get them mostly up but buttoning wasn't going to happen!

It's okay and it's what I expected... I just wanted something to work for!  As a result, I have a fine day planned and lots of good and healthy food to eat!!!
