Since the birth of my daughter, I have lost 78 pounds. One would think that losing that much weight would be a totally enjoyable, gratifying experience. However, there is one very annoying thing about losing that much weight...what do I wear?
I had a few things that I had kept from when I used to be skinnier, but not nearly enough to create a decent wardrobe. And then you are faced with a dilemma...how much clothing do you buy and what do you buy when you haven't met your goal weight yet. I don't want to buy things that aren't going to fit me in a short while because I lost more weight.
This past weekend, we were lounging around on Saturday morning in our pj's. My pj bottoms, of course, didn't fit so well. Every time I stood up and moved, I nearly mooned everyone. Talk about your constant threat of a wardrobe malfunction. Anthony was pretty amused by this.
Then a bit later, he looked at me and said, "Can't you tighten them down at all?"
So I begin to give him this whole spiel about how these pj bottoms have drawstrings but they are actually fake ones and don't do anything. Then I proceed to show them that they are in fact fake. But when I pull on them, I realize, they are in fact real. So I have been walking around for the past few months with my pj bottoms about to fall off of me at any moment when the situation could have been remedied in seconds.
In my defense, I did at one time own a pair that had fake drawstrings (though obviously no these ones). How I walked around that long completely oblivious is beyond me. Chalk it up to being blond. I have had my fair share of blond moments, that's for sure.
