Yeah I’m wearing what I like to call “Oprah Pants” today. Pants that are just a bit too snug to be wearing in public (have you ever noticed her pants are always a bit too tight?). If I were a size 6 they would look great. But a size 16, not so much. Here is the good news, by the end of the day they stretched out. About a 1/2 size. Yeah, new pants that fit. So why would I even wear Oprah pants today? I was so happy they fit, I just wanted to wear them. Yeah, they felt snug, but the joy of fitting into them made me so happy that I wore them.
You see these were the last pants I bought before I blew up like the good year blimp. They still had the tags on them. Sad, they have been sitting in my closet for over 5 years. I actually fit in them last summer, but they are lined and a bit warm for 85-95 degree days. Then I gained 9 lbs, then I lost 6 of them and started kicking up my workout routine. I’m the same size as I was in August, just 3 lbs heaver. So they fit. I was excited. I wore them.
Have you ever worn something because you were so happy just to fit into it?

A pair of khaki BR pants that you gave me. They still were tight, but no longer had the “camel toe,” so I deemed them wearable.

Totally cracking up over “Oprah pants”–you’re right about her pants! And yes, there’s this pair of jeans I hold on to because I can get them on and zipped, but they make it hard to breathe. But maybe one day they’ll be flattering–I really love them so I hope they will!
