A thought about pants...

I have been stressing about fitting into my old pants, but I had a thought today. When I try on the new size 12 pants I bought they fit loosly, however my old size 12's are tight. It got me down pretty bad because I wanted to have the accomplishment of fitting into the old pants. The realization came only a month after i bought this new pair of 12's that are now becoming too big, the old ones shrank! Wow, how many of us get so stressed about putting those old pants on and they just dont fit right? My thighs are soo tight in the old ones, but hey i've worked out a lot on my legs. They aren't as thin as I want them to be but they are starting to get muscle to match the muscle in my calves. The point is, toss out the old pants and go buy some new ones because the old ones are dragging us down. I bet that if I bought the right cut I could even fit into a ten. I noticed that low cut like I used to wear makes that muffin top look way bigger than it really is, so as much as I was afraid of looking like my mom's old pants I tried out the midcut and not only do they lessen the muffin top but they look good too. Anyway, it's a bit of rambling but I know i'm going to donate those old pants even if they are cute because they are only making me feel bad when I have a sick day where I feel like giving up. :flowerforyou:

After all the hard work we put ourselves through to lose this excess weight. We deserve new pants!!!

Toss the old stuff, nothing beats leaving the fitting room feeling good about your new size!
