Are my 'skinny jeans' worth it?

Everyone who knows me well, and some who only know me a little, know that I absolutely adore my coffee. I don't like just any coffee though. My favorite is the freshly ground Van's Blend mixed with Italian Sweet Cream in a "feels like home" mug. Yes, I will drink other coffees and other creamers, but this is the one I crave, the one I get excited about. I am struggling with this beloved addiction because the calorie and fat intake have made their mark on my 35 year old silhouette. I know that cutting back is the right thing to do, but I have a hard time saying no to this particular "fatty maker".

As I was pondering this thought the other day and wondering if my skinny jeans are worth "just saying no" (which they ARE), I was reminded of all the things I have given up in my life because there were better opportunities for me. I gave up things that used to mean a lot to me, but now, they mean very little to nothing. I have found a much more rewarding way to live. The things I got in exchange, make the loss insignificant.

What are you holding onto that is making your "skinny jeans" collect dust?
