To start out, I have never posted pictures before. So if these pictures don't show up, just disregard this very excited post and move on. Okay, so none of my clothes fit me anymore. The following photos (hopefully) is of me in my favorite shorts from last summer.

I was sad because they're my favorite shorts and they don't look good with a belt! I'm also just about the worst seamstress in the entire world. There is zero hope of taking these in without making them look terrible.

But, I am a thoughtful idea person. And my sadness sparked a plan! I could sew a button on a few inches away from the original button and the problem would be solved, I can sew on a button!! So, that is precisely what I did!

And now my pants fit!

I know this seems like a very silly thing to post about, but I was so excited! Not only about the success of my weight loss journey so far, but also with my new ability to wear all my shorts from last summer this summer :)

    I have done that a few times too. Wore them till I wore them out. Great thinking.

    Good on you, girl! But definitely the shirt will have to stay untucked or you will have a poofy looking front to your shorts, since the zipper is a bit bulky to be folded across. I've done this with a favorite pair of sweats though and you can actually make them look like a fly front pair and it will still work.

    I say, buy new shorts & celebrate your NSV!!!

    The front is a little poofy, but not enough to be truly noticeable. I have bought a few new pairs to wear this summer, but these shorts are my favorite and have some sentimental value to them lol.

    Great idea...for you! I would lose my mind! The angle of the zipper would make me twitchy.

    I thought the same thing on the angled zipper! But I guess if my shirt was long enough, no biggie...

    and nice work on losing the inches!

    I am so weird, I think I would feel the angled zipper. I feel like a jerk though, I forgot to tell you AWESOME work on your body!
