OKCPirate 5,323 Posted December 24, 2015 My daughter (16) has been ragging on my jeans. "Oh dad they look like mommy jeans, Get something that fits." So for the first time since the Reagan administration I ordered 36" regular fit jeans. She really liked them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cervidae 2,389 Posted December 24, 2015 The one pair of jeans I have that fit me are a size I haven't fit into for a decade. It's a great feeling, isn't it? Though I'm trying to picture "mommy jeans" and it's pretty amusing, lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fernandfj 469 Posted December 24, 2015 CONGRATS!!! It's an amazing feeling to see those waist numbers shrink! The other day I looked in the mirror and for the first time in years my chest was actually bigger than my gut! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VDB 800 Posted December 24, 2015 My daughter (16) has been ragging on my jeans. "Oh dad they look like mommy jeans, Get something that fits." So for the first time since the Reagan administration I ordered 36" regular fit jeans. She really liked them. Pirate, way to go. I threw all of my well worn 54 and 56 waist jeans away several months ago, but found a pair in one of my drawers, can't believe the difference. However, now in 42/44, find that my rear end disappeared somehow and that I need suspenders! Merry Christmas, Pirate! You are an inspiration! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OKCPirate 5,323 Posted December 24, 2015 Someone mentioned their backsides have shrunk and thus their pants got longer. So I went with a shorter inseam by an inch...and that worked. I was wondering why the back of my old jeans were fraid like they were stepped on...now I know why. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JustWatchMe 7,117 Posted December 24, 2015 In my former obese life, I only wore jeans that fit. It didn't matter what type. Now, with two thirds of my excess weight gone, the jeans that fit are actually called skinny jeans. That cracks me up every single time I put them on. As long as I wear tunic style tops, I can get away with it. My legs have always been my thinnest part. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Inner Surfer Girl 12,015 Posted December 24, 2015 That is so great! I haven't worn jeans in decades. I would consider being able to wear Mom Jeans as an NSV myself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think most of the "skinny jeans" for guys make them look like dweebs, but I'm not an urban hipster...but I could be their dad I guess Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Julie norton 2,850 Posted December 24, 2015 Love the cut of skinny jeans. Somehow making the calf part smaller lengthens the look of my legs. Gotta go with it. And a wedge heel Gotta stay with it even if trending is wide leg palazzo pants. I think I'm done trending Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
