I had no idea where to post this...would one post it in the "Success Stories or the Celebration section"...what's a girl to do?!?!? You be the judge!!!! LOL!
Ok, the funniest thing happened to me lastnight...it was funny afterwards but in the moment it was shocking!!!!!
So since I have lost a lot of weight, I have many large bags of clothing that are way to big for me (I was a clothes horse more than what I would like to admit too openly...when my husband sees them he's going to die) that I will be donating. It's been difficult going from a 6X down to a 1X-2X size in such a short period of time because it's hard to go through so many sizes regarding clothing...you don't want to purchase too much but on the other hand you have to purchase something during such a transition.
I happen to have this one pair of blue jogging pants that I feel very cozy in and is warm for this time of the year for working out in (I'm usually cold when I get started working out and need longer pants)...so I haven't/don't want to give these up....they're not even a year old, I purchased them last April...so, in order to deal with them being so large, I pull the fabric of the waist out on the side and tie a big knot in it or I put an elastic band around the bunch of material at the side of the waist so they'll stay up....(how can you tell I'm attached to them LOL!!!) I have a few other long pairs of work out pants but they are just about as equally as bad...and then all the rest of my work out clothes are capri pants which are cold this time of the year.
So....lastnight I put these pants on, had a little snack and went into the kitchen to drop my plate before I started to exercise. I was walking into the kitchen and sort of tripped....thought that was weird...didn't run into anything......and kept going....I went to place my plate on the counter and felt a bit cold on my legs, I happened to look down and my pants were at my ankles on the floor!!! I was in shock!!! (I had forgotten to tie the side or tie them in with an elastic band) I quickly looked out through the other side of our kitchen to see if my husband was still at the dining room table (that's where he was moments before this happened) and he WASN'T so I screamed...."OH NOOOOOOOO DON'T LOOK!!!!!!" I had no idea where he was but I knew he wasn't there any longer!!!! I quickly bent bent over in a mad scramble trying to pull them up and all of a sudden I hear a voice right behind me while I was still in quite a compromising position "So, what's going on in here?!?!" it was my husband! I freaked out as this voice startled me and quickly stood up forgetting to pull my pants up as he startled me so bad....yes they were still at my ankles so I yelled, "OH NOOOOOO, DON'T LOOOOOOK, YOU DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING DID YOU?!?!?! And quickly fumbled to pull them up.....He stood there laughing BUT (no pun intended) stood around the corner and said, "Well....perhaps just a bit of leg"...that wasn't good enough for me so I pressed him on it and he finally admitted that.....yes he saw everything...I even quized him on what colour my underpants were (while I was still in shock with what happened)...yeah, he got the colour right.
We must have laughed for the next 45 minutes about what happened. I have no idea why I freaked the way I did....I think I was in shock!!!!Everything is going well in life, you have your pants where they should be and then in the next moment you don't!!!
Just thought I'd throw this out and give you a chuckle this afternoon....a memory I will not soon forget regarding my weight loss journey.
