Being Girlie, part 3

Today I went to buy a new pair of jeans.  I got a few pairs in different sizes, and as I walked back to the dressing room I found myself thinking, "I really hope the smaller size fits; I'll feel so much better about myself."

Really?

The size of the jeans I wear?  Is that what I should feel good or bad about?  Is that a measure of my self worth?  The respect I am owed, and that I owe myself?  Is it a way to judge the person I am?

The larger size jeans fit better, so I bought those.

And I feel great.
