Miserable but happy

First day back at work. Man does it suck. What doesn't suck is my pants being about two sizes too big and my belt being on the last hole and being too big!!

Hang in there, before you know it your work day will be over. When I first went back to work I had to take a nap once I got home.

You think you have problems now, wait till you are so skinny you can fit yourself into just one leg of your old pants! Then you have problems! Everyone's gonna make fun of you and call you mermaid man! Keep pimpin that sleeve!

As the old saying goes, "Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels!" {I know, I hated it too, never having been "skinny" in my life!} Just wait, soon you'll remove your pants without unbuttoning them! I had to laugh at your heading, Miserable but happy.... I'm energetic, yet exhausted. (Huh??? But it's so true!)

The worst part is when you have to buy new clothes...you become torn about spending the money, or even what size to get, since you'll grow out of the new stuff too, but it becomes a necessity when you have nothing to wear! Another ying/yang! Good luck!

You are so right! I am two sizes down and three if I want them to just fit. I'm debating the skip a size concept. I have decided to get two pairs of slacks in the next size and make them work until I'm the next size down from that one. I now shop in misses for the first time in 15 years.

I almost got to the point that I dreaded my boss saying "I think you need new pants again"

[Holly5.3 423]

Every day getting dresses I'm like, "do I want to look like a ragamuffin (clothes 3 sizes too big) or have muffin-top (clothe too tight, next size down)!" problems, problems....

That's awesome!! Congrats! Yesterday I bought my first size 10 skirt in over 20 years. Such a great feeling.

Shrink out you mean. I feel I grew out of more clothes than anything during my life. Now it is time for me to shrink out of them.

Congrats in your success.
