Well, I had this pair of jeans that I loved. They were my Polo jeans. NEver had an expensive pair like that in a LONG time, but I bought them cuz I had dropped a size, and they were even one size smaller (must've been the way they fit).


Well, they were the thin type of jeans, and I noticed at the pocket edges, the material was wearing thin.


Well, lo and behold, I bend over one day, and my pants ripped. And with the extra weight I've gained, it was just pushing to it's limit, like all my pants. It didn't rip in the back. The strange thing, it ripped parallel to my zipper. And well, with every movement of me bending over, i'd hear it rip a bit more. I had to literally go buy a pair of pants and put them on. By the time I got the new ones on, the old ones had a rip 3" long.


Ladies. I am so depressed about my weight. I think it's causing me to NOT do a thing about it. And tigerlilly, this is exactly why I need something fast, FIRST, before diong it the good way. My pants don't fit. AT ALL! They are pulling apart at the seams in the legs. This will prove how good my pants are built. So far, the Old Navy ones are actually holding up. My polo ones ripped. And another pair of are pulling apart at the seams.


I am so down about all this and I realized that is why I'm not exercising, not doing anything, why I dno't care about what I'm eating. NOTHING fits. not my shirts, not my pants. nothing. i literally cannot eat, cuz my pants are so tight. if i eat, it's tighter, which could be a good thing. i have to sit for my job and i can feel my "rolls". gross. i think the fat between my tummy and chest are becoming a second layer of boobage. gross. thank god it's winter. i am literally hiding under my clothes.


someone just shoot me and put me out of my misery. my pants rip (this was around xmas), my clothes are literally leaving me scarred (on my waist, tummy, thighs), cuz it's so tight. things are falling apart, cuz the seams are being pulled on so much. i literally am sitting here with my buttons undone. cuz i can't breath. i can't even cross my legs my pants are so friggen tight.


yeah. just shoot me. put me out of my misery.


okay, that was my vent for today.

CherBear!!!


HUGS FOR YOU


Over the past couple of months it seems that there have been issues upon issues for you- this was probably a boiling point for you. On the bright side of this perhaps it will be what you need to really boost you into doing something about it!


As so many others have said "we're here for you, and will pull you alongside when you need"-- just let out a yelp!


Hope tomorrow (Wednesday) is a brighter day for you!

Moderation is Key

I think you had talked about SAD maybe being an issue last year.

Cherbear, I know how you feel. I finally reached a point where I realized that most of my recent weight gain was NOT muscle, as I had hoped. My baggiest jeans started fitting me just right and my "thin" jeans???Forget it!!! Somehow, someway, last week, I finally started realizing I really have to do something about it. BTW, I lived in L.A. for 5 years, and found Januarys in SoCal to be sort of blah. Where do you live?

When the time comes, we can go back to those clothes we had to forsake temporarily.

As far as the no sun until June, not quite that bad, but the winter months here are dark and dreary. March is usually rainy. April, hard to say. There will be one day, one wonderful day in MI, when one steps outside, even though it's chilly, and feels the warmth of the sun on one's face. That day gives us all the hope we need to hang in there for about six more weeks 'til the weather breaks.

My uncle has that disorder and he is a friggin bear to deal with in the winter, people just stay away because he practically rips your head off at every little thing. That's why he lived in Florida for so long, now he's back in New England...so we try and stay clear in the wintertime.

Well, this morning started off good. Until I couldn't get my pants on. Then it got depressing. I had to wear jeans (at work, I can get away with it, but I hate doing it), because nothing else fits. =(


I really have to go shopping. Target, here I come...for some CHEAP clothing.


BTW, went shopping last night. my 10's are tight, and for some weird reason, 12's don't fit. Strange. could be the cut. That was flat out depressing. puttig on some 12's and having them NOT fit. when all my clothes are 10's. i wonder if my clothes are just massively stretched out.
