What Is With Jeans These Days? Lol



Recommended Posts

I'm getting frustrated with finding jeans that fit. It's funny because I used to have the same problem. It was so hard to find jeans that would fit my big booty! So I would buy the same pair from the same place year after year. Now that I'm smaller I'm shopping and the jeans usually fit my thighs, butt and hips. However, at the top of my hips/waist line the jeans flare out?? My teenage daughters say they are for "muffin tops"...we called them love handles. Yeah, sure I'm happy that I don't have love handles to fill that flared waist but I just don't get it. Is there a certain style I should be looking for? Perhaps "hip huggers" or something. I was anti-shopping for so long that I'm truly out of the fashion loop. Anyone have suggestions? By the way, I've tried belts but they are uncomfortable and just gather the waist, look silly. Thanks for your help!

I love low rise jeans, but I have a lower waist too. I find that the low rise don't cut me in two and just look better.

Try Not Your Daughter's Jeans. My cousin gave me a pair of these and they go up quite a bit higher than I'm used to but I'm used to the hip-hugger shape. I don't like things around my belly button or higher than it. Used to drive my mom nuts - all my clothes hung around my hips and were (according to her) a size too big!

You need to go to a store like Kohls or Sears they have every kind of Levi's under the sun. They have a label called Curve ID, for every shape and size, you can even go online and they go through all the different types. I love them. Happy Jean shopping. Jeans are a very important piece I clothing you wanna get it right.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
