making progress in other ways as well

Last night, we went to Guitar Center and the mall, wandered down to the Gap so the boy could look for some shirts. Since we were there, I decided to try on some jeans, since I only have one pair and they make me look really short and stubby.

I knew I wouldn't fit into their size four jeans, so I tried sixes and then an eight. Neither size fit. This is where I've made progress. Previously, I would have freaked out and been like, I need to eat less, cut out more sugar, exercise more. I might be a 4/6 now, but there is no way I'm a size 10, not when my pants are starting to fit like they used to again. I knew it was just that I never have luck with Gap jeans, and their sizes run small on me. Wasn't even bothered at all. Big progress there.

Progress in other area, this time with friends. Now, I have a history of friends disappearing, like Lisa, Lauren, Jaime, etc. I write, put in effort into the friendship, and they just disappear. It used to make me think I was doing something wrong, or I have unrealistic expectations. Now, the progress. My friend Tawny had a second round job interview this week. I e-mailed her before her interview to wish her luck and called her after to see how it went, and I haven't heard from her. But I am learning that she takes a few days to reply, and it doesn't mean that she doesn't like me or whatever. I'm learning to not take it personally.
