some quality time with Murphy

I'm glad I never met Murphy. I'd probably punch him in the throat.

Bought 3 pairs of much-needed pants a few weeks ago, then promptly dropped about 15 pounds. Now all three pairs are (literally) falling off. I wouldn't be so upset - I could stand to lose a few pounds - except that I really really REALLY like all 3 pairs of pants that I bought. And I hate shopping.

What do you vote: wear longer shirts and pin the pants in at the waists, or start eating lots of pizza and chocolate?

Mmmmm, pizza and chocolate! Can't you just exchange them for a smaller size?

Not crappy at all! Lose the pants and reward yourself with same style smaller size!

I agree with Carol... buy smaller pants. You deserve it, Hope, after all of your hard work.

Have them taken in. Much easier than more shopping... I hate shopping to! Much healthier than putting back on the weight.

P.S. Congrats on the weight loss.

Yeah, I have all the time in the world to shop and visit tailors or sit and sew, and wads of cash bursting out of my droopy pockets.... lol

For now, i've found flipping them over at the waistband keeps them from falling off my bum. I'll hold off shopping for another year and just invest in some belts and/or safety pins...

lose the pants I tell ya...lose the freakin pants.

It is not fair to live in pants too big, plus it gives you an excuse to grow back into them....

GET RID OF THEM

Baggy pants = baggy bum.

Take a long lunch break and pick up a new pair.

Hope, do what you have to do to make your pants stay on your tushie. Belts, pins, folding over or FIX THE DANG THINGS!

Tanya, I'll take her info if Hope doesn't want it. Even in my smaller pants, the waist to hip ratio isn't right for me.

Oh I almost forgot, congrats on the weight loss. Daily biking and high stress (the conference) will do that to a body. LOL The stress diet works...I'm living proof. HaHaHaHa!

I think you've actually got it backwards - it's the LACK of stress that has helped. We've been short-staffed at work and I've felt overwhelmed with my workload both at my day job and the side gig. When I'm busy, sleep-deprived, and stressed, I eat comfort food that's fast and easy, which equates to take-out and frozen pizzas and way too many triple-triples (or wine) at odd hours of the night. Going to bed with a belly full of Arby's and chocolate covered almonds, washed down with a couple of coolers will catch up with your waistline REAL fast lol. Now that I am catching up, both at work and on the side gig, I'm able to make better food choices, and actually think not only about what I'm consuming, but how much, and at what time.
