These Jeans are even looser than last week.  Why did I put this horrid side view?  Honesty.  Thanks to my mommyhood, I still have a marsupial pouch…and I guess I didn’t suck in on this photo.  I weighed 192.5 giving live birth twice and that’s too much excess to neatly fold back together.  I wear this pouch as a proud reminder of the two wonderful young men in my life.

I don’t know about 300% better, but the dress definitely looks BETTER.  The funny thing is that I don’t love it,  and I may not wear it in Hollywood this week.  I have my eye on another dress at the store…what can I say, “girls are allowed to change their mind…”

Above: Although the dreaded Muffin Top is still there, it’s much smaller and the jacket now  buttons closed.  I never dreamed that it would button since it began with a “mind the gap” sign when wrapped around my fat form ripe for chiseling.  Overall, the outfit fits much leaner.

Below:  Plan A dress which has been traded in for a newer model B dress.  I’m a little disappointed, but when I bought it, I didn’t realize it was 7″ off the mark.  I assumed that it was 3″ off, and I think I would have lost that in the timeframe.   I’ll still keep this dress because “you never know” and  I’m hoping to be invited to another ball so that I can  try it again, y’all !
