Jeans are one of those measuring sticks we use to determine our self-worth and beauty. "Maybe if I hang onto these too tight ones, I'll be able to lose the weight and get back into them."
Weight Watchers magazine (Jan/Feb. 2011) had a good article on jeans. Here are some statistics they published:
31% refuse to go up a size to find jeans that fit well
50% hold onto their "skinny jeans," hoping that they'll squeeze into them again
62% rely on their jeans as a measure of whether they need to lose weight
Something to keep in mind is "There's no standard sizing in the apparel industry --every brand uses different techniques and measurements to create their sizing scale." (Sarah Hodge of MyTrueFit.com)
This week will highlight more thoughts on jeans and how to get rid of some!
