Jeans Dont Lie- People Do

So this goes out to all the girls that may read this:

You know when you are having one those days when it seems like your jeans just dont fit! Your first thoughts are my jeans must have shrunk in the dryer. Your second thought is "oh, these must be __(insert your skinniest friends name)__ jeans, she must have left them here by mistake.  Your thought hits a little closer to reality, " I guess I should havent treated myself to an all night fast food binge with pizza and beer, even though it was light beer".
If your like me your last thought is probably " DAMN IT I NEED TO LOOSE WEIGHT "

regardless of what we are thinking someone will try and talk you out of it with the use of a "white lie", a simple lie told to spare our feelings. It could be from your mom, dad, boyfriend, girlfriend, best friend, fiance, husband, son or daughter- it doesnt matter.

I gave birth 8 weeks ago to a beautiful baby boy.. and while I loved bringing him into this world, the pregnancy destroyed my body. I was 115 pounds when the stick turned positive, and 9 months later I was 58 pounds bigger and alot wider. 8 weeks later (current time) my strech marked stomach (UGHHH) is actually kind of flat, however my hips are like 3x wider than they ever were before... okay so enough with my rambeling-
here is my problem -

my legs are skinny and my stomach is somewhat flat but my hips are as wide as texas.
My maternity jeans are too baggy to wear but are snug to my hips, and my pre-preggo jeans fit my legs nice but dont even come close to buttoning...

So I start my hunt for some new jeans- I was really excited to go shopping for some new clothes, so I could chill out with my sweats and maternity pants..
So basically 7 stores and about a million different sizes and styles of jeans later- NOT 1 PAIR FIT ME !!!! the ones that fit my hips were so bagging on my legs and the ones that fit my legs barely made it over my love handles.
SO I left the mall empty handed and discouraged.

everyone from my fiance to my mother told me - " kate you JUST HAD A BABY , and you look fantastic, just give it a little while longer " (HERE IS THE PEOPLE LIE PART) yes I agree that I do look okay (kinda good) for just having babY, BUT COME ON its been 8 weeks and these hips are not shrinking any time soon, so I will suck it up and where jeggings and yoga pants..

Lets face it ladies sometimes we have to accept that our bodies change, and I have accepted that Ima bigger girl now and Im okay with it... I just wish people could be as honest as our jeans...

- thanks for listening (if anyone is out there)

ps.. dont throw away your old jeans - give yourself a goal- even if you never reach it, its fun looking forward to something...

<3 Jeans don't lie , people do.

Welcome to my Blog

Hey Guys, (even though I'm sure no one is reading this)

My name is Katie and welcome to my blog :)
I have never blogged before so I figured I would try it out..

I started this blog to clear my head. You see, I always have ALOT going on in my life and things can get pretty crazy pretty fast, so I figured I would share my stories and experiences with you all. I plan to blog about anything and everything, whatevers in my head that day. For those of you out there in the land of the world wide web, I hope you enjoy it..

So I will start my blog with a simple introduction.

Hi, I'm Kate or Katie (doesnt really matter to me) and I am 21 years old. I live in Virginia Beach with my fiance and his family. We are saving up to get our own place but we are comfortable where we are. We have a new born son who is only about 8 weeks old. He is wonderful, the "light of my life".  Having a baby at my age is not the easiest thing in the world, but we make it work..
I am a full time college student working on getting my BS in Sociology. After I graduate, I plan to attend nursing school (but in my life, things never REALLY go as planned).

I consider myself to be somewhat of a jock, I love sports. I played FIELD HOCKEY for about 9 years and at the collegiate level for 3. I love surfing and swimming
I am obsessed with working out staying fit, but my body isn't what it was before ( you know JUST HAVING A BABY AND ALL ) but my goal is to get back to where I was- 20 pounds to go (Im sure ill be blogging about that)

Welll thats all for my introduction.. If your out there reading this,  I hope you get a kick out of my crazy life and in some ways Im sure you all can relate.. see you next time .

So here I am - WELCOME TO MY BLOG <3
