Every Saturday morning, E & I take the babies to gymboree. For those who may not be in the know, gymboree is a gym of sorts for babies and small children filled with slides, trampolines and other primary colored equipment. They love their class and so do I, as I am a hermit* and have no friends. The thing is that I basically wear the same thing every day around the house, since again, I never leave the house, but at Gymboree I have to wear different clothes.
I don't have different clothes.
I don't fit into many of my pre-pregnancy clothes, I don't want to wear my ripped tie dye shirt in public, and I refuse to buy more clothes at the current size I am (which isn't that bad, but C'mon, Tuesday lets get fucking motivated already!) it leaves me with a rotation of three presentable, "outside of the house" outfits. I keep rotating them.
It's not good.
I guarantee you that 90% of the conversations of the people leaving Gymboree is "Did you see that? She is wearing that velour jumpsuit AGAIN! Ahhhhaahaaa".
I really need some new clothes. I did ask for that for Valentines Day, but you see, I am getting a massage.
*That is not entirely true. I do leave the house to go food shopping.

ReplyDeleteAs a sahm for several years, who has just returned to work part-time, go buy some clothes that fit. You will feel better about yourself and find yourself more motivated to exercise if you feel good about yourself. I spent 2 years after my second baby overweight and unhappy with the way I looked. When I said screw it and bought myself some clothes that fit I felt better about my appearance. That motivated me to go on a diet and lose 30 pounds. I also found that if I put on jeans, a nice t-shirt, and a little makeup everyday that made we feel better and I started to venture out to where I could meet other moms and make some friends. Now 2 years later I am still good friends with several of those moms. I know that worrying about your appearance at home seems like something you don't have the time to do, but if you take 10 to 15 minutes a day to make yourself feel attractive you will feel better, have a better day, start to venture out more, and your husband will appreciate the effort. I have been there with small children by myself all day. Feel better about your appearance changes your frame of mind. Best of luck with your clothes situation.
