My Tight Plus Size Jeans

by Deb For Plus Size Women

My plus size jeans are getting too tight. I refuse to go up yet another size. Let’s be honest, my ass is spreading. Okay, well…if you want honest my thighs are spreading too. Oh my gosh, that almost sounds dirty! hehehe…sorry about that.

Anyway, I’ve noticed I’ve been really bad since I stopped working out regularly, and lately even my plus size jeans are getting harder to zip. Seriously, I just don’t want to buy a bigger size…not again.

I’m getting on my treadmill again and working on this. How did I work out with a trainer for a full year, then just let it all go to crap when I stopped? I had the best of intentions, but I didn’t follow through.

I’m really frustrated with myself, but whatcha going to do? I can’t just “make it go away”, so it means back to work for me.

Look, just let me zip these guys up again without issue, and then I’ll work on getting DOWN to the next size! I can live with having plus size jeans…I just don’t want to have the next size up…

Large Size Clothing, Does it Matter?

by Deb For Plus Size Women

Wearing large size clothing, does it matter more to you or the people around you? You know what I did the other day, I cut the damn tag out of my new coat. Know why? I didn’t want to see it…

I almost weighed myself this morning, but stopped myself. Am I going to beat myself up over 1 or 2 pounds? Has my life changed drastically gaining or losing 5 pounds? No, but my mood has….so why go through it?

Does it matter if my large size clothing is a 1x, 2x, 3x or even a 4x? Really, is it anybody’s business? The only good it does for me is directing me to the correct clothing rack at the store. Why am I judging who I am at times based on that number. Seems silly doesn’t it?

We don’t judge our children based on their 2T or 4T clothing, so why does that all change when we’re overweight? Let’s stop beating ourselves up because of a number…I’m game. What about you?
