Monster Shorts.

I went into Delias today to return some shirts I ordered online. (1. Yes, Delias. I'm still pretending to be in high school. 2. In my head, online shopping is so much easier, but I end up returning at least 50% of what I buy...so really it's just more of a hassle. No clue why I keep doing it to myself.) Anyway, a sales girl informed me that if I tried on a pair of shorts and showed them to her that I would get a free 10$ off coupon to use that day, regardless if I bought the shorts. Trying on shorts posed several problems for me:

1. I have no clue what size I am post pregnancy. Before I was pregnant I was a size 4 or 6. Easy. Now my stomach is a gross mess thanks to gaining 55lbs and having a c-section.
2. I have not worn regular pants or shorts in over a year. I STILL wear maternity pants or sweats.
3. I have never liked shorts, EVER. Not even in my size 2 days.

Regardless, I still told the girl I would try some on, and I told her to bring me the biggest size possible. I never realized how NOT FUN trying on pants/jeans are when you are in between sizes or have no idea what size you are. I've pretty much been the same size my whole life up until now! I have never had a problem with things fitting. Amazingly, I was able to squeeze into a 13/14 and look somewhat decent. I figured I should probably have something to wear aside from sweats and lounge capris this summer, so I bought the Bermuda shorts. Now, I'm starting to wonder if they look more like spandex biker shorts, than jean Bermuda shorts. Grrr. I HATE this body that I ate myself into. This will be the fuel that drives me at the gym tonight. I've got yoga from 7:15-8:15 and then I'm heading to the gym.
