moosh in spanx.

Posted bycasey coombsPosted inToo lazy to label.

I’m flying pretty high on the self esteem machine tonight.

Why?

Because I tried on my first pair of Spanx today and they didn’t do a darn thing for me. (Why am I 26 trying on super support panties? Because I read “an ode to Spanx” in the dentist’s waiting room and I figured why the heck not?)

Apparently my figure is already Spanxed.

I asked two different store employees if they could tell if I was or was not wearing the Spanx. They both guessed wrong both times.

Sweet.

Speaking of the dentist. I went for the first time in five years today (freaking no insurance.) One cavity. That brings my lifetime cavity count to one.

While I’m at it, my hair is so healthy from my recent cut and color that I can’t do a darn thing with it. It just sits on my head and shimmers. I’m considering letting Cody study by the golden glow my hair puts off.

Tell me, what parts of you have been behaving lately?

  3. okay no fair that your body is already Spanxed. Even with my Spanx on, my body is still not very Spanxed like in the before/after pictures. heh.

    The only thing that’s been remotely behaving on me lately I guess would be my hair?

  4. I love Spanx.

    I had my first cavity at 24. Then I had my first panic attack because they didn’t tell me that having a tooth filled involves tiny pieces of flying tooth and a weird burning rubber smell. Nothing bad happens. The novacaine needle is not that bad…but you should be warned that the weird flying tooth chips and smells are not abnormal BEFORE they start drilling.

    So, in case you aren’t filled yet, now you are warned!

  8. NOT my stomach, that’s for sure. I think I’m developing stretch marks now that the baby is 6 months old. That’s just WRONG.

    However, I can totally make my husband hot doing the Hula Hoop on the Wii Fit, in sweatpants, so I guess I’m not doing too badly!

  11. My weight is not only behaving, it’s DECREASING! I do Weight Watchers (and you’re the fourth person I’ve ever told in the year I’ve been doing it), and as of today I’ve lost 17 pounds. This is the lowest weight I’ve been since around 9th grade. I still have at least 30 pounds to go but dude, things are happening! It’s HARD but it’s happening!

  15. I come out of “creep-dom” to comment about Spanx…

    I am a recent convert to their wonders! I never had a reason to buy them before, well sure I did but I could never justify spending that much money! Ha But my best friend is getting married in two weeks and I’m the Maid of Honor. And honey, you better believe I wanna look as good as I can in the hideous dress I’m forced to wear! Haha But I really like the style I bought, it’s the whole body suit thing… So not real practical for everyday wear! I’m thinking about buying a different type of them for a regular wear basis. Congrats to you for not needing them! I wish it were me!

    I’ve never had a cavity yet in my 21 years *knock on wood!* So kudos to you for only the one.

    And my hair has CERTAINLY not been behaving. The curls just aren’t doing what I want anymore, perhaps it’s their sign to me that I need to get a hair cut… BAH! I’m ready to shave it all off! My skin is also rebelling, darn you stressful college life!

  17. i wish my hair was behaving! i color it myself, because i am not quite ready to show off my grays. my issue is that coloring it dries it out. so far no amount of conditioner helps. AND living overseas doesn’t do much for me either since i can’t get the good stuff here anyway. when i get back to the states i will start having it done and see if that helps. so what if i am 39…i don’t want to be gray! nobody believes i am 39 and i plan on keeping it that way as long as i possibly can!

  20. it’s because we are little. spanx do NOTHING for me either.
    it’s because we need an xxs or something. the xs doesn’t suck anything in. it just looks..well, exactly the same.

    and don’t even try the full body spanx. that was just a disaster.

    yes. hundreds of dollars well spent, i say…

  21. Awesome on the Spanx! Go you!

    As for my body… Right now I’m liking the fact that my sinuses are finally clearing themselves of mucus, and I can hear/smell/taste again (though the constant nose-blowing is getting tiresome)

  26. I think you are amazing… but right now I am super duper jealous. Right now nothing is behaving the way it should. I am feeling awfully blah. But yay for you that’s awesome that you are feeling great!

  27. Since I’m suffering from a bout of food poisoning at the moment, pretty much NOTHING is working well for me. Not a darn, stinkin’ thing.

    Better luck tomorrow!

    Oh – and my first reaction to reading that you tried on spanx? Was this: “Why on earth would Casey need spanx?”

  33. Humph. Yesterday was our 1st wedding anniversary. For the fun of it, I danced around the house in my wedding gown only to discover that it’s a little tight compared to one year ago. One year married and five pounds heavier. I’ve even walked 166 miles in 12 weeks and haven’t lost a single pound. That is just so wrong.

  34. Wow! That’s awesome. My hair has been very nice to me lately. I am in desperate need of a cut, but even so, my hair continues to fall just right (after doing nothing more than washing it and letting it air dry). I’ve gotten more compliments in the past week than ever before. Interesting how that works.

    And my feet are liking me better now that I’ve pretty much stopped wearing shoes. I’ll write a post about this tonight 🙂

  37. I’m going to be honest and say that I am not sure that any part of me has been working well lately. I am currently digging myself out of what feels like a very, very deep hole that is surrounded by mud and perhaps even quicksand. So as soon as I get to the top, I sort of slip back down.

  40. Well, my teeth haven’t fallen out, I still have hair, and I can see well. Does that count? Cuz lately, I’ve been a little lax on lookin’ good. As long as I can make it through the day without strangling someone, I get a cookie.

  42. I can only WISH that my body looked like it was wearing Spanx at all times. 🙂 As for what’s behaving lately, I can honestly say that my fingernails haven’t looked this nice since I was pregnant and taking mondo vitamins all the time. They are nice and even, subtly glossy, with no splits or anything. Makes me just want to type type type all the time.
