Because stumbling blindly through menopause is less fun than it sounds

Faked out by my own pants

Yesterday as I was getting dressed for work I grabbed a pair of slacks that I hadn’t worn for a while. They fit me perfectly. They were lovely on me. So I was a little disappointed.

They were slacks that I’d put away after I’d lost some weight and they had been swimming on me.

skinny-pantsI was torn. There I was looking great in the mirror (okay as great as you can be when you’re not at your absolute perfect weight) and feeling let down. At least I went into work feeling good about my “look”.

As the day wore on I began to notice that my pants had started to expand. Just a little at first. Still looking good but getting slightly loose. Cool.

By the time I got home last night my pants were baggy and misshapen and made me appear as though I’d just graduated from clown college. I looked like crap. Awesome!
