I am rarely hungry, but realize that I need a good balance of protein & carbs to actually lose weight.
I was frustrated last week that I didn't lose anything by way of the scale, but I can definitely feel that my clothes (esp. pants/skirts) are getting looser and looser. How I HATE being shaped like a pear! GRRR...finding pants that get over my hips/thighs and fit my waist is IMPOSSIBLE. The waist is always a mile too big. *sigh* I guess Stacy & Clinton ("What Not to Wear") would just tell me to go to a tailor, but I get the feeling those two are not living on a budget! LOL If I get a NEW pair of pants, there is no money for tailoring. However, if I shop at Value Village, that is a possibility, I guess.
It has been so very long since I've purchased pants, because I hate pants shopping and because I got so big. Finally now I am pants shopping, and do you know they don't make pants normal anymore? Everything is a mile below my naval! LOL I hope they are making shirts longer, because I sure don't want 3 inches of flesh showing between top & bottom! It's crazy!  Would someone with some common sense PLEASE enter the fashion industry on behalf of all women (or at least on behalf of those of us who are shaped like pears)? hee hee
Well, time to go write down my breakfast. I am so thankful for this forum, it has been a great inspiration to me! I love my life.  |
Pants shopping! lol I am going to be doing that Friday, because I need some for school and going outside in the colder weather..when it actually gets colder.
Might want to try Fashion Bug. They have some pants that go down below the naval, but for the most part they have different styles and have great sales. But I am apple shaped right now... should be an hour glass figure, but you know, I gained weight lol and I am honest with myself lol
I am in a size 24 ... they used to have the ass part of my pants coming down, so I would sit and the pants would come down ..should have seen me.. I just kept tugging on my shirt to pull it down ..of course everyone noticed the girl with her undies showing and mooning people lmao
but now they fit rights
My idea is I am not going to buy a size up .. I refuse to ...someone told me that ...that allows your mind to think its ok to be a bigger size ....
so if I dont fit in what they feel is a size twenty four, or they are too tight...and the twenty six is too loose .. I am not getting pants yet... I will wait until The end of October and just deal with the two pants I have ..
I refuse to get a larger size lmao
anyway I dont know what pear shaped women are supposed to look for in pants ... you might want to ask someone from the store.. like a manager, what they feel a pear shaped women should look for in pants and ask if they have anything that doesnt drop below the navel ... your finding ... low cut jeans ..they are very popular with really thin women and for some odd reason they think someone who is overweight a tadd can somehow fit into them correctly lmao ...
I would definately ask them, or even look online ..you might find it easier looking it up online ...they had this whole what to look for in pants for different shapes for Lane Bryant .. they might be able to help you, because they had this come out a couple months ago ..its been big in their store ..they are making jeans for any shape ..
best wishes
**you will find something hun!**
