Wonderpants
Over the weekend, while visiting my dad, I went to Nordstrom Rack and found a pair of Lucky Brand Jeans for $40.  I tried on one size bigger than my normal size, because I've gained 3 lbs in the last two months.  I had spent some time "emotional-eating" after my mom passed away.  Now that I've gained 3 lbs, I'm more careful with what I eat again.   I'm not fat by any stretch of the imagination, but this is my "fat" period, nevertheless.  I'm still within my range of acceptable weight, which is 115 lbs +-3lbs.  But when I'm at the lower end of the range, I feel the most energetic and athletic.  Anyways, the Lucky Jeans fit, but a little loosely.  It was a good deal for Lucky Brand jeans, and they didn't have my normal size anyways, so I bought it.  I wore it today and I felt SO skinny.  So the secret to feeling thin is to buy bigger pants!  Wonderpants I tell ya!  Ha ha.  Of course, I can't keep buying bigger and bigger pants just to feel thin.  I know with healthy eating and my regular exercise schedule, I'll be back at my "good" weight in a few weeks.

ha!
ReplyDeletecheck out "vanity" sizing...a trend where clothes maker are labeling their stuff as to make it not so harsh.
i.e. a large shirt is actually XL a few years ago, and it's even worse for ladies I heard (from Catherine who shops a lot.)
So for me, a regular L t-shirt now is too big and baggy and I'm down to medium. Makes me feel "thinner" I guess...hahaha
anyways...3 lbs will zip away after your marathon training!
I noticed the "vanity sizing" a few years ago too. Makes me wonder how a small person can get clothes anymore. Do they have negative sizes???
