Let me just start by saying eating out when on Weight Watchers is hard. Eating out at great restaurants in Chicago makes it almost impossible.
Girls Night Monthly BYOB was last night. I have no food porn to show you except for Wendy and her fried snapper. We calculated that bad boy some where around 10 points.
Since I ate lunch out with a colleague yesterday (*sigh*) I came into the dinner with a plan. I would :
a- bring a half bottle of wine to drink and
b- wear a pair of pants that were tight thus not allowing my stomach to expand to the point of being stuffed. In other words, portion control though waistband constriction.
What you are witnessing here is a pair of jeans that I had to “suck it in” to get them buttoned. Yes people, the crotch didn’t actually come up all the way. I couldn’t exactly bend over. (I did make sure to sit before leaving the house). My ass was crammed in those babies so tight it was flat as a pancake. My gut also spilleth over the top, thus the loose shirt.
Oddly buy the end of the night (due to ass sweat) due to stretching, they fit.
After a day of gluttony; I sang a little song saying good bye to my flex points last night.
Its also suppose to hit 80 degrees so I wanted an outfit that embraces the warm weather.
I would just like to say that after seeing the chicken cutlets poking out of side of my top today, I have not taken off my jacket!

Love the jacket! Green looks awesome on you.
And the jeans…you got them on and that is what matters right? I’ve had a few pair of “rubber band” jeans (you know when you string the band through the loop and around the button). The belly band worked when I was “with child” or had a food baby.
I’m loving rubber band jeans!
I thought the dress top looked good on you!
And I would have never thought you sausaged yourself into the jeans.
I thought the jeans looked fine and NO ONE BUY YOU saw the “chicken cutlets”. I had to go back and look.:)
You look great in both outfits! Love that jacket! Send it to me when it’s too big for you. 🙂
