Next milestone: 20 pounds gone
Okay, so I did not pass the 20 pounds milestone as I’d hoped. That’s okay, though. 1.2 is a very respectable number for a woman who still isn’t really exercising due to December’s broken tailbone.
Instead of announcing the passing of the 20-pound milestone, then, I would like to introduce the triumphant return of Skinny Pants.
Okay, so they’re not Skinny Pants in the traditional sense of the term. They’re not size 12 or 8 or 00 whatever it is the kids are wearing these days. But I’m accustomed to wearing a size 28 or even 32 (yes, 32) pant.
These are my skinny pants — the smallest pair of pants I have ever bought — a Lane Bryant size 26 from eight or nine seasons ago when I fit into them for about a week. Okay, maybe a week and a half. And also, there’s no evidence that they actually fit anything more tangible than my fertile imagination back then, but I decided to try them on yesterday morning and whoosh! On they went.
At first I was annoyed. “My pants are staticky,” I’d complain to whomever wanted to listen (and, of course, plenty of people who didn’t). Then, around lunchtime I went to check them in the mirror and complain even more. It turns out the pants weren’t staticky at all. They just fit. I could feel them against my legs because they fit.
Now there’s a concept.
