Jeans

[xeilidhx]

Bit of a breakthrough tonight...got back into a pair of jeans!!

When I think this through, they should have probably been chucked long ago, they're about 5-6 years old and I got them when I lost weight. They were my "skinny" jeans, slouchy size 14s that I loved (river island). I've never spent so much on jeans since. Well, after that I lost more weight and took great delight that my "skinny" jeans were big!! So they were my "I thought I was skinny then" jeans. Over a while, they fitted again, until before Xmas-BAM- they no longer fastened however,today they're slightly snug but they're on!!

Maybe I should chuck them now...

Wear them till you grow out of them then give them to a charity shop for some other lucky lady to enjoy!! I have a similar pair and they fit now and I know I will be loathed to part with them when they get too big but I will be strong, lol!!! Mind you no one will want them as they are about to fall apart!!! LOL!

I like to keep some things so I can try and remember my sizes.

Well done getting in to them again xx

Hi hope you don't mind me joining your thread, but all this talk of old jean... I binned my thinking i'd never wear jeans again, but after 2 weeks on the Dukan diet and 9lb loss starting to wish I'd kept them.

I'm eating 3 a day do you think that's too many?

Theyre only really tollerated so 3 a day is probably way too many! They have lots of sugar in them!

I ate half a weight watchers vanilla yogurt this morning and that was naughty for me!

All my old clothes are home in Ireland....all I have here is stuff that is now too big

Only problem with that is I don't want to buy new jeans because I'm not even half way through my weight-loss

But to buy a smaller pair of jeans would boost your confidence and make you feel your on your way to your target.

There's nothing like old jeans to make it crystal clear the body has changed! I, too have "fat pants" that then became my "not fat pants" so my new pants could takeover the starring role.

I have learned not to rush the shimmying into past fat pants though. I've got them lined up, knocking them down, one by one. However, rushing the lineup and smooching into too thin fat pants is not good for the psyche. Nothing worse than looking all sausage like, right when feeling so accomplished. Hence, my rather strict line up and no more trying out for a role I'm not yet ready for.

Congrats on your baggy waist! We need a shrinking fat pants smilie!

I did try on 2 pairs of pants today in the shops. One exercise pair and one pair of jeans, both size12.
The exercise pair were perfect, maybe even a lil too big! And the jeans I could get into and close but that's as far as I got. I've another 2ish inches to lose before they'll look good.

But considering my current jeans are River Island size 18s I think that's a pretty huge accomplishment And the jeans I bought here in Seattle a year ago are a size 16!
