Ode to jeans...... i hate you.

Thanks for the laugh...sorry it was at your expense, though most of us have been there done that! I remember standing in front of the mirror crying I had no jeans that fit and my SO saying "there has to be 25 pairs of jeans in there NOTHING fits". It's so frustrating! I'm happy to report though that 7 month later I had to buy new jeans last week...smaller than anything that was in my closet. You can do it!

I feel your pain. I have 3 different sizes hanging and mocking me. the day I do not have any muffin top will be a day for celebration indeed.:flowerforyou:

One of my favorites too lol..dolly parton cracks me up. Oh, and don't sweat the negative people on here. You're real and I appreciate that, anyone who doesn't should keep their comments to themselves, we are here for support, love, accountability, to relate and even have a laugh. Thanks for your openness

I feel ya! I have three sizes of too-small jeans in my closet too. I visit and wave at them sometimes - soon enough I will be wearing them, this I promise!!

Funny post :-)

You could write chick lit for women who hate themselves. Just wow.

What is your problem? If you have an issue with Iowa Princess why don't you message her directly, I've noticed that you consistently are quite negative with your comments towards her....NOT COOL. I cannot stand people talk crap on the internet from the safety of their computer/mobile device. I'm glad you lost weight and you "feel" the need to spread your opinion but you know what...everyone has a different journey and decides to manage that journey through different paths. It is amazing to me that a person who has lost weight would be so doggone negative to another's journey at worst that's hypocritical and at best asinine .

LOL - I hate to say it - but I think a LOT of women out there have wardrobes in many sizes - I know I did.

The past 15 years or so, I had basically the same wardrobe in size 6, 8, 10, and 12.

It's so damn exhausting to ride the 'weight gain/loss' ride!

If I have to be on MFP for the rest of my life to keep my weight consistent, I will!

Kudos to you for your very cool sense of humor about this journey!

And - I'm going to 'toss' a question out to the guys of MFP - do you have the same 'wardrobe' in multiple sizes?!

You could write chick lit for women who hate themselves. Just wow.

What is with this chick? Stalker much?

I for ONE loved this post! It really helps to have a sense of humor when your trying to lose weight, i know i could have used this when i gave birth three years ago and lived in nothing but leggings and nursing bras for about a year because NOTHING would fit. Your awesome keep on keeping on princess!

I recently just got rid of my "size catalog" of all old clothing. I went through and donated anything not an extreme favorite or less than a size away to a local battered women's shelter. And about a month later, I started on this journey again. Without getting rid of all that mental baggage, I don't think I would have been in the right state of mind to do this.

That being said, I've never been much of a leggings girl, but I also don't wear dresses much because my legs rub together and all that. Jeans, however, goodness. I wear jeans to work. When I switched from elastic waist to zippers, that was traumatic. But, this last time I went down a size, my waist and hips shrunk more than my muffin overhang because I feel about 20 times fatter in these jeans because of the pronounced muffin top... Ah, the nightmares we live...

Congrats on the self-knowledge and amazing sense of humor!

Hugs, C

It's all a process, don't get discouraged. I have plenty of those jeans laying around too. You'll fit into them sooner than you think!

You've probably expressed my feelings better than I could! I've had some bad months with my eating/exercise and can't wear any of my clothes from last summer and busted the buttons off my "larger" work pants.

Im uncomfortable in my clothing and my body to say the least. Im back! I also need support.
;-)
Sometimes I think saying these things out loud help you remember your goal. We are all here with you!

Ahhh this cracked me up! Just what I needed today!

Thanks for sharing!

Keep at it you'll get there!

Awesome post!

You know what else I hate about jeans? In one brand I can wear a size 14, but another brand I wear a size 18. Seriously? You are just killing it every day with workouts, eating right, the scale is moving in the right direction and then you get into the fitting room to try on some new jeans in the same size you have in your closet and they won't go over your butt. Do you know how that can mess with your head?! ARGH!
