7 reasons to let go of your skinny jeans (and embrace the healthy body you have now)

user

To feel good just as we are is a long journey for some of us. Those skinny jeans sitting in your closet are proof that part of you can't let go of the dream that one day you'll be fashionably thin and your life will be perfect, or at lest better than what it is today. Parting with those skinny jeans is tough, but here are ten reasons/ways that will help may make it easier and more pleasant to say adieu! * You'll have new room in your closet for new clothes. Shopping time! * Give your skinny jeans to a woman's shelter, and share the abundance you have with other women who aren't as fortunate as you. Everyone will have a brighter day. * Give your skinny jeans to your kids, nieces, neighbor's kids or any other young woman, and let them enjoy some "vintage" fashion that will no doubt be cool again. * If you just can’t entirely let go of the whole pile of skinny jeans, save one pair, and give the rest away. This way you’re still making the steps to let go. * Your life will be in “play” instead of being on “pause” or on “rewind.” * Sell them on eBay. Put the money toward a pamper yourself day. * Being back in the skinny jeans does not mean that your life will be better than what it is today. Yes, you will be thinner but not necessarily happier. The difference between happy people and not happy people is all in the mind and spirit. Happy is a state of being not a result of accomplishments or acquisitions. You can be happy at any time.

    Skinny jeans are just as ugly and unflattering today as they were in the 70's and 80's. Except back then they weren't as "skinny." The same thing goes for tights, leg warmers, and those stupid sweaters you wear over your shoulders and tie them on your chest.

    The only thing left is half a can of hairspray and you got the Madonna look all over again. Sheesh! .

    Is this article discussing skinny jeans as in the style and cut of a pair of jeans, or the jeans women hold on to for when they lose weight? I've got the bod for the style of jeans called skinny, and, truthfully, I have jeans in my closet that are too big for me-I call them my "normal weight" jeans and I hold on to them in the hopes of gaining enough weight to wear them again one day!

    Diana B, I hear ya-there are some heinous styles out there today. It's all in how you wear it and knowing what's right for your body (I have small hips and thin legs, so skinny jeans look good on me with a looser top and boots over them).

    They weren't good looking on everyone and of course the ones they look awful on are wearing them. Come on let the recyled style go by the way side. PLEASE
