ok - that's IT! I'm buying bigger pants this weekend

[stinkerbelle]

honestly...I can't breathe right now.
I'm so uncomfortable!
I want to go home and put on my sweats!

I just need a couple pair of "fat pants" to get me through the next few weeks...I need to lose some weight to fit into the clothes i have!!

You know that quote from Steel Magnolias? "looks like 2 pigs fighting under a blanket"?

that's how my bum feels right now!

Don't do it!!!! I've made that mistake before! First they are too big, then the next thing you know your new fat pants fit just right! Don't let it happen. Just suck it in & muffin top it! Don't ever give it room to grow!

That's funny.

I think every woman should have a few pairs of "fat pants" in her closet. You just never know when you might need them! I personally hate the feeling of too-tight pants, so I totally know how you feel!

Will you take me shopping with you? I bought one pair of "fat jeans" and they are the only ones that fit right now. I keep thinking I will get back into the other ones, but so far no luck. I have been wearing jackets to work every day to hide my stomach! I HATE GETTING OLD!!!!

I have too words: elasticated waistband!! All my fat clothes have elasticated waistbands!

I agree though, don't do it! Why not buy some of those knickers that suck your tummy in for now, they are a god send some days!!

 

[SC Minnie]

My 'fat' clothes end up being the only ones that fit, then I need to fat clothes when the first ones get too tight. Getting old stinks.

 

[stinkerbelle]

see...it's a viscious cycle...
you realize you need to lose some weight when the pants start getting tight (I SWEAR I'm shrinking them!)
so you work out more
but the pants still don't fit...
so...what do you wear to work? rotate between the 3 pairs of pants that DO fit?

I do have the one/two week rule when it comes to my work clothes.
The same outfit will not be worn in 2 weeks.
I will not wear the same pair of pants (or shirt/sweater) twice in 1 week.

so you see my issue?

and it's not really my tummy...it's more my thighs. Blessed with saddal bags at 29? Lord help me!

I have too words: elasticated waistband!! All my fat clothes have elasticated waistbands!

dude...that's just showing the world you gave up.

JK!

I love my sweats! Best thing since chocolate. Which of course is what got me in this mess to begin with...

Although I understand your reasoning - I disagree. You look fatter and puffier when youre squeezed into clothes.

I no longer look at the *size* number... I find pants that fit.... no matter what the stupid tag says.

Buy the fat pants, I say!!!

You are my new best friend!

Use the fat pants money on a gym membership!

Stinkerbelle...
I am with you. I have my fat pants I bought in November, three pairs. They are now comfortable.. but once worn they are looser. I have a few pairs that I squeeze into on a weekly basis as well.

I refuse to go out and buy more pants in this size. I can't do it... but I can't seem to get off my butt and lose this weight. It's my thighs too.... I am one size in the waist and about two sizes larger in the thighs. Drives me nuts... doesn't take a lot to lose and tighten but I can't see to do it!

I would love not to wear the same pants in a week but I can't handle being in the tight ones everyother days. So I figure they are khaki's I could have more than one pair.... so I just do ALOT of laundry!

 

[Tigger&Belle]

Yeah, I've been having a problem with my dryer, too. I hate it when it shrinks my pants! Deosn't do it to my DH's clothes, though. Odd, very odd...

 

[Pooh67_68]

Go ahead and buy pants that fit.

It took some talking to my DH, but he fianlly gave in and went up a pant size.

MMMM, okay!

Buy the fat pants! Buy the fat pants! Comfort rules!! Come over to my house and we can sit around in our sweatpants and eat chocolate cupcakes!!

My Grandfather swore up and down that he did not wear a 42, he wore a 38 but the new size 42 pants fit him. He argued that they were 'sized' wrong. Now that is the excuse we use when we have to buy a larger size. THey are justed sized wrong.

POOH 67 68- That is the cutest pet picture I've ever seen!!
