I am beside myself with joy right now.
when I first moved to saskamatoon area with my hubby, I weighed a lot. I kept by my bed a pair of "skinny pants" which I thought, I will never fit into them again. but it was more of a reminder of where I had been. so I kept them. last month my hubby moved them on me because "they looked funny just sitting there, and it made the room look cluttered" so I went along with it (after several fights and a lot of whining)
Today we have a hockey game. hubby called me from work to let me know he'd be picking me up at 3. and at 2:30 the dryer stopped with all (ALL) of my pants in it. what do I do? I have nothing else to wear! you don't wear a skirt to a hockey game and there's nothing else! I tore through the house; a woman on a mission. to find something appropriate for a hockey game. skirt, skirt, dirty, torn, nothing! then i found it! in the bottom of my dresser under some lingerie that never gets worn anymore was the pants. a pair of cargos that in september wouldn't even fit over my knees. much less up to my waist. I was desparate. I pulled them on (made it past the knees, and hips, so far so good...) then came the sucking in to zip them up. *don't breathe...* darn it, the zipper's stuck. take them off, fix them, put them back on. *forgot to inhale* zip... and...
wait, they're on??!? how did that...? so here I am, off to a hockey game in a pair of pants that have officially not fit me for years. to heck with the scale! I know I'm getting skinnier!!
good luck to all of you, and I hope that you can get into your skinny pants soon too! ~Ruthi
