\"SONY<\/a>A few months ago I did something that even surprised me.\u00a0 For the first time since college I bought \u201creal\u201d shorts.\u00a0 Since I started working in childcare what feels like a billion years ago, I\u2019ve been rocking the Bermuda shorts (my \u201cMom Shorts\u201d<\/a>) and I love them.\u00a0 I really, truly do.\u00a0 And while I don\u2019t see anything wrong with them and didn\u2019t really feel I needed a change, I just thought if I was going to break back into \u201cshort\u201d shorts, now is the time when I\u2019m thinned out from breastfeeding and feeling good about my body (even if I\u2019m so thin I feel sickly otherwise<\/a>).<\/p>\n

The first time I put on my new short shorts (which aren\u2019t even that short, far from a booty hanging out extravaganza, but MANY inches shorter than my usual Berumudas\u2026) I felt funny.\u00a0 I felt self-conscious having bits of my legs hanging out that haven\u2019t seen public in years.\u00a0 I\u2019ve slowly become more comfortable in them and wear them a few times a week now but still feel a little funny sometimes.<\/p>\n

I wore them (I guess) for the first time to the dance studio yesterday and I was surprised when two different people commented on my legs!\u00a0 I know I\u2019m usually in yoga or dance pants but that\u2019s because I\u2019m usually teaching and the days I\u2019m not teaching (when I\u2019m there for Honeybun\u2019s class) I do wear normal clothes but I guess I\u2019m usually in my jeans, Bermuda shorts or longer skirts so people don\u2019t see my legs.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m unsure how to feel about the attention and part of me wants to run back to my long shorts, but the shorter ones are nice for the hot weather\u2026<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
