Droopy Pants, Flying Shoes and Friday Fragments

Ok, this is more than a fragment, but I want to share this one day with y'all this week. 

I'm linking this post with Friday Fragments over at Half-Past Kissin' Time! If you want to play along, just click on the button below and follow the link to FUN!

One of my favorite things any day of the week is going to lunch and doing a little shopping with my BFF,Leslie. And we got to do that very thing on Tuesday. It was GREAT, as usual!

After I finally got dressed to go that is. And that was a feat unto itself. 

Most of you know that I've been on a weight loss journey that quickly turned into a lifestyle change for both Hubs and myself. And those of you who have lost weight before know how interesting it can be when your clothes get a bit too big for you. Overnight.

I found this out Tuesday. While getting ready to enjoy a girls afternoon out. 

The Pants.

I love to wear capri pants. And I have a few pairs that I like and chose one of the black ones for our outing. 

When I wore these pants before this last loss of 79 lbs., they zipped and buttoned but they were tight. I always envisioned the button flying off and putting someone's eye out across the room (just like the commercial). Tuesday, this was not an issue. As a matter of fact, when I went to button them, the button hole and button flew right past each other in warp speed. Too big. 

No problem, I thought. My rear is still plenty big to hold them up! And, should they fall to my ankles, Leslie will tell me and I'll pull them up before anyone else notices. 

I zipped and buttoned the pants, let go and down they went. All the way to my ankles. Crap.

Next pair- black, capri, drawstring. No problem, right? Wrong.

When I wore these pants last year, I never once was able to use the drawstring because when I donned the pants the only thing left of the drawstring were the two knotted ends. This time I had to use the drawstring which ended up tied in a bow that hung to my knees- ok that's an exaggeration, but still...

Anyway, the pants stayed up but looked very much like a pair of clown pants. Crap.

Luckily, the day was quite cool (comparatively speaking) and I was able to wear a pair of long pants that fit. 

The Shirt

This went a little quicker. After trying on a couple of shirts that have scooped necks that fell off my shoulders, I went with a shirt that fit tightly last year. This year it slips right down my torso, but stays on my shoulders. SUCCESS!

The Shoes

I decided to wear a pair of shoes I have NEVER been able to put my fat feet into. 

They slid right on and, with my first step, flew right off. I couldn't keep them on my feet. Crap.

This happened with nearly every single shoe I tried to wear. 

Yes, I've been losing weight. Yes, I knew my clothes would become to big at some point. But COME ON, even the shoes?! 

After lunch we went to Rack Room. 

I bought shoes. Next time, pants.   

Have a great weekend y'all!
