What I do when I don’t fit in my jeans…

You know that one pair of jeans you have in your closet?
We all have that one pair, right?
For some of us, they should have been tossed long ago (I may or may not have a pair from HIGH SCHOOL on my shelf).
This particular pair of jeans always lets me know.
They let me know if I’ve gained weight, lost weight or I’m somewhere in between. And after having two babies, one miscarriage and a collection of stressful, busy seasons over the past few years – sometimes these jeans fit….and sometimes they don’t.
There was a time in my life when these jeans would have dictated how I feel about myself. If they didn’t fit, I’d feel terrible. I’d beat myself up, promise to do more cardio, commit to a new diet on Monday and focus my eyes on losing that weight – because if the jeans didn’t fit, I carried around a quiet, disturbing sense of failure every morning when I got dressed and every time I looked in a mirror.
But you know what?
That’s not my story anymore.
Don’t get me wrong, my jeans still get tight (I’m human after all).
But what that leads to in my life has radically changed.
Thanks to Pilates and the grace-filled, practical, balanced approach that is found in The Balanced Life Sisterhood, I know just what to do when the jeans won’t button.
I take a deep breath.
I remember that the size of my jeans will never determine my worth.
I go fill up a big glass of water.
I open up the Sisterhood calendar for the month.
I re-commit to spending a little bit of time on my mat each day.
Not out of desperation or punishment, but out of self-care. Because I know that I am not alone. I know that I’m on a long journey toward the healthiest version of myself and there will always be ups and downs.
I know that success is not linear.
I know that the secret to transformation is in the small things I do each day that add up over time.
And I know that I have a community of women around the world who “get me” and they get YOU, and together we’re doing our best to stay the course.
