Really upset/sad

*hug*

Sorry hun!

Target has a great jean selection.. I've always found jeans that fit there...:)

Turn that awful experience into motivation. Keep working hard eating well and getting in shape. In a years time you'll look back on this experience and be able to laugh and joke about it. Don't let a pair of torn pants bring you down right now.

(((((Hugs))))))

I'm so sorry that happened to you.

I'd be upset too,but in the long run,use it as inspiration for following your eating plan. Hey,most of us have had something we hate to remember,but we all got thru it. So can you. We're pulling for you :flowerforyou:

I totally agree. The scale and a pair of jeans does not define you. We are all beautiful inside and out. Keep your head up and keep your eyes on the prize. Remember you are not alone.

I am so sorry this happened to you. My best advice is to pretend you are an actress. When you go back to work "act" confident and laugh it off. Check out goodwill their jeans are often 6 dollars a pair and they have all different sizes and some are in great shape! (Thats where I shop for now while I am losing the weight).

I feel for you! I did this a couple weeks ago to my FAVORITE pair of work pants. They are now hanging next to the heavy bag and stationary bike as motivation. That was what got me back to this website!

Keep your head up and keep at it. It's hard work, but pretty soon those jeans will have been too big anyway

I'm so sorry I think a lot of us have felt as sad as you do now with our weight. I can tell you that for the longest time after I had my daughter (and before I finally got my *kitten* in gear) I was still in maternity pants. I felt awful about myself, and one day I finally had enough. Every time I wanted to binge eat and/or not work out I thought about the fact I was *still* in maternity jeans and it helped me stay on track. Take this experience and turn it into a positive. You can do this!

So...I was down to my LAST pair of jeans that fit me. I have a pair of slacks that fit me as well.

The jeans just totally split UP THE BACK when I was getting out of my seat at work.

I am so freaking humiliated right now. I ran to the bathroom, cried, ran back to my desk after I calmed down, got my keys and now Im home...I don't want to go back in, but have to.

I hate this.

Hun once I went to uni in my white jeans.

At the end of the day I came home and took my jeans off. I had poo'd my pants! I was having stomach problems and instead of staying home and getting better I went to uni.

HOW MANY PEOPLE must have seen POO ON MY BACK SIDE ALL DAY!?!?

Anyway, chin up. You'll lose the weight.

At least you were wearing underwear, right? Right?

Here are some choice gifs to make you feel better/laugh:

Go to Target and buy 2 pairs of jeans. One in your current size, and one in a size smaller. Hang the smaller size in your bedroom so you can see it every morning when you wake up.
Then go through as many of the success pages on this site that you can. It is truly inspirational to see how people can turn it around and get fit. It's amazing how people can transform themselves; physically and emotionally. Make friends with the ones that inspire you so you can learn from them how to lose weight.
You can do this. )
You just need that little push to start making changes today.
Use the experience that you had today to point you in the right direction. Before you know it, you will have a new profile picture, one of you that is a bit smaller and mostly likely smiling.

Add me as a friend if you'd like.

Go get some inexpensive, new jeans that fit you and that you look and feel good in ... and rock 'em. Wear 'em till you drop the weight. Might as well feel as good as you can about yourself throughout the process!

I bought the cheapest jeans I could find at Walmart when my pants all stopped fitting. I cried when I saw the size on them, but I felt so much better having clothes that actually fit my body!!!! I wore the same jeans and pair of slacks for months.

After a year of counting calories and being more active (little things...walking. Couch-to-5k. Workout dvds), I pulled those jeans out of my closet last night to give away. Take this moment, and use it as your motivation to move forward. When you feel like giving up, think about how little effort it really is to eat better and be more active, when you compare it to how rotten you felt when your pants ripped.

This morning, I woke up and am feeling a little better. No one made any mean comments, but I *felt* like I was back in school...you know that terrible stomach sinking feeling you get when you've just been really embarrassed in front of the whole school? That was it.

Like I said...no one said anything, thank god. Thank you for all the awesome posts and stories....it made me feel better last night. You guys are right....I need to see this as a learning opportunity, not a terrible thing.

My fiance told me I should go in singing Spongebob Squarepants' Ripped My Pants song lol

I know we all tend to focus on the physical transformation that occurs but there is also an emotional transformation that occurs when you are losing weight. You start to realize that you can accomplish hurdles that you never thought possible. OP..that bravery you showed will get you far in your journey. It must have been tough to go back to work but you did it! :flowerforyou:

It is ok

I have had pants split too

Calm down and go back to work

Do not let emotions intefere with your job
