Confidence. It’s something we all have though most of us seldom utilize it. Confidence is an attribute that, when employed, provides us with the faith and trust that we can do whatever we set in our mind. So many women fail to reach their true potential in all areas of life because they lack the one thing that could propel them to heights beyond their wildest dreams. Many people are surprised to hear me say that I wasn’t always confident in some areas of my life. It’s probably because I masked it so well. I walked with my head held high, and I spoke openly and passionately about the things I believed in, yet there was a time when I would look in the mirror and question if I believed I was the person that I was presenting myself to be.
Over the past couple of years, I’ve gained a few pounds. Over 30 to be exact and while I was out here living my best life I truly wasn’t happy inside with the way I looked. My clothes didn’t fit, and I hated going out to buy new clothes because it was a constant reminder of how far off the wagon I’d fallen. How could I stand in front of people and want them to believe in my product when I couldn’t even believe in myself? So, in the beginning of 2016, I decided to make a change. I decided to stop having pity parties in the mirror and do something to change the way I looked and how I felt about myself. I quietly jumped on the bandwagon and joined Oprah’s newest Weight loss program, but this time, I wanted it to be different. I needed a lifestyle change, and so I committed myself to sticking with it no matter what life threw my way. As the weeks went by and the weight came off, I started to see myself in a different light. I was happier than the woman I was back in January. I found that had more energy, and more importantly, could look in the mirror and believe that I was the person who deserved to live this life.
To date, I’ve lost almost 20lbs, and while I love what I see in the mirror, I didn’t love how frumpy and baggy my jeans began to look on me. I mean a belt can only hold up so much.
My absolute favorite brand of jeans are Levi’s® and if you try on or buy any brand of jeans this year trust me you have to get yourself into a pair of Levi’s® 711 Skinny.Trust me on this, these jeans will change your life! If you have more of a curvy figure like myself, you can appreciate a good pair that’s both flattering and comfortable. The 711 Skinny jeans have a classic silhouette that sits at the mid waist and slim through the hips and thighs. They’re constructed from an innovative soft stretch fabric that holds and lifts in all the right places making them feel sorta like a reward for a job well done at staying committed to my healthy weight loss goals. I felt and looked so great that I’ve dubbed the 711 Skinny my new power jeans due to how the skinny legs accentuate my athletic calves so well making them the perfect jeans to wear with a cute pair of heels. I absolutely love how the 711 jean is giving me the confidence to live and be my authentic self!
