On Monday, I showed you where I have been and where I am.
Today I’m showing you where I have been and where I am going.
This picture was taken in April 2004.
This picture is the skinniest I have ever been. I weighed 175. I think I weighed 175 for one week. I wore these jeans once. Once. We went to the zoo for Nate’s birthday. Nathan’s brother told me that my butt looked little. I felt so good about myself that day.
I was digging through my skinny box, and I found the outfit. Minus the belt. I have no idea what happened to the belt.
So I put it on. Be warned. It doesn’t fit yet. You see a flesh belt. Just prepare yourself. I’m not sure why I’m putting this out there, but…
Yes I do. I’m showing you so that you can celebrate with me when I can wear this at Christmas. The jeans will fasten. The two pieces will meet in the middle. I will be presentable in this outfit in 2 months. Amen.
I don’t know what that magic weight will be. But this outfit is hanging in my closet, taunting me every morning. And I’m loving that I am so close. SO CLOSE to a place I really didn’t think I’d ever be again.
So, what will you be able to wear at Christmas?
love this! might have to give it some thought (and digging) tonight and post. i have, regretably, misplaced the bubblegum pink cashmere sweater (ann taylor!) of my skinny season, but i’d love to have a concrete goal staring me in the face every morning.
I beleive you will. Thank you-I think I will follow your inspiration and dig out an outfit of my own.
This is very inpsiring and honest…love your blog and was happy to see one of my songs made your mix.
I have a pair of expensive 7 jeans that while they ‘fit’ I am not comfortable in them. I want to wear them proudly at Christmas.
Yes, you will fit in that outfit by Christmas, and I will cheer loudly for it!!!
I don’t know what I’m looking to fit into by Christmas… my body image and size is pretty distorted right now. I do have a pair of Svoboda jeans I’d love to be able to wear…
you are awesome!
Hi Krissie – I am finally going to delurk! I’ve been reading your blog for the past few years and I just wanted to say how much of an inspiration you are. You sound so happy and it certainly shows in all your pictures.
No doubt in my mind you’ll be able to fit into that outfit in time for the holidays!

You are one beautiful woman and btw I laughed hysterically when you remembered about my skirt splitting up the arse ;-) Yup that was the skirt. Damn I loved that skirt. And it wasn’t even tight, just too “soft” of material. I miss it!
