that helped me gain the self-acceptance to adopt these REALLY tight pants as my new gym wear.
Eeeeek! I think I can see that lady's Razzle Dazzle in those pants, Mommy!
Yes, they leave nothing to the imagination, but DAY-UM they're some comfy workout pants. It required some conscious effort, but in the Lululemon dressing room I took some inspiration from Leslie Hall's confidence and decided to raise two well-fed middle fingers to the notions that little dumpling-shaped ladies don't get to have the good workout wear and that being traditionally attractive in what are essentially technologically tarted-up sweatpants is necessary. And in a world where my recent babyless (Thanks, Oma and Opa!) shopping spree determined that I am an extra-small, small, medium, large, 8, 8.5, 10, 12, and one-size-fits-all ALL AT THE SAME TIME, it feels almost revolutionarily validating to break a sweat in my Razzle Dazzle Wunder Unders not because they make others feel good about looking at my body, but because they make me feel good about being in my body. That's right. My RDWU's come in a size juuuuuuuuuuuuuuust right.
