Tight Jeans

Tight jeans...we've all been there. 

You do your laundry, you dry your jeans, and they shrink!  So, before you can attempt to button them, you have to do that thing where you bend over, squat, and lunge to stretch them into wearable condition.

This happened to me this week.  I pulled on my trouser jeans for work and felt like I was pulling them on straight out of the dryer...

...except...they weren't straight out of the dryer.

Nope...my jeans, magically, inexplicably, (and likely at the hands of the same evil elves that work my scale), shrunk practically overnight.  Yeah, that's my story and I'm sticking to it!

Damn you, little elves!

My jeans are my barometer for whether I'm gaining, losing or maintaining my weight.  So, judging by the amount of "sucking in" I had to do to squeeze my ass into them...I'd say I've definitely gained in the last week or so.

Ugh!!! 

Tight jeans are the worst, probably because there's no ignoring them.  They don't stretch, they don't give, and you can't escape the urge to jam a straw into your thigh and start sucking out the fat (or is that just me?)

I know it's the holidays...and gaining weight is practically a requirement...but I was sooo hoping that it wouldn't happen to me!

So, tonight, instead of eating dinner and vegging out in front of the tv with a dish of ice cream, Ben and I threw on our work out clothes, walked down to the apartment complex clubhouse and worked out in the gym!!!!!

I'm hoping to be (comfortably) back in my trouser jeans soon!
