Again, of course I'm going to get lots of new clothes when I get to goal, but that's so far off. I don't even know what goal is yet. But before then, I have an new wardrobe dream:
When I'm no longer fat, I look forward to wearing out my jeans by means other than the friction between my thighs.
Now I know I'm not the only one on this boat. Provided I don't "outgrow" a pair of jeans, the first thing that wears out is the fabric between my thighs. First it starts to get really thin and smooth, then gets a little threadbare, and then before I know it, I hear a rip and there's a huge hole in my jeans. I even did this to some of my maternity pants. Really, it's pretty gross.
One pair of my current size 24 jeans is now to the threadbare stage. However, I start by pre-op diet at the end of February, so I don't have much more time left in these anyway. I just have to be SUPER careful between now and then, because I don't have that many jeans that fit. I'm positive you other ladies have been in this situation. I'm not the only one in this world with tree trunks for legs.

Oh yes....I am in that same situation right now! My favorite pair is pretty darn close to exposing the milky white chunk of my inner thighs! But I refuse to buy a new pair!
ReplyDeleteI think I have a pair or two of new size 24 jeans I can send you to tide you over if you want...just shoot me an email at sjoy@fit.edu
ReplyDeleteFor real? I would totally try them out! I'll shoot you an email.
ReplyDeletepreaching to the choir! i have had soooo many pairs of pants that go threadbare in the thighs and then poof! a big ole hole! i thought it was just me. so glad to hear it's not. right now my fave jeans are prolly only a few washes and thigh rubbing wears away from becoming trash. sigh. so sad.
ReplyDeleteHey Holl! Welcome to my blog. Maybe some day when I shrink out of clothes, I can pass them on like others in the Band Blogging community. But that's a little ways off yet.
ReplyDeleteHi just got your comment!
ReplyDeleteI want to say I know exactly how you feel with your jeans. I looked at my "comfortable" jeans today and saw they are turning white between my theighs! Yuck!
Good luck to you and keep in touch!
I can so relate to this. Only instead of jeans, it's my scrub pants. Because yes, scrubs take up more closet space than my "real" clothes. I often wonder if after surgery and weight loss if I'll ever be one of those people who's thighs don't touch. hmmm...
