Old Pants

So, a couple weekends ago I discovered

a box in the back of my closet

filled with clothes.

When we moved,

I packed a box of clothes with holes&rips

that I hoped to fix someday

…

then obviously forgot about.

I was excited when I found it,

cause I’d just been thinking

that I needed some new jeans and

– instead of buying any –

I simply fixed some old ones that fit perfectly well.

Well, maybe not so perfectly

since I put on some weight

since I bought most of those jeans

...

hence why I've been able to live without them.

Today, I’m wearing one of the pairs I patched up

– a pair of purple skinnies I bought in college.

I distinctly remember wearing them to the bar 2 summers ago

and they were so tight I couldn’t button them

…

I left it undone

and

put a belt on to cover the opening.

When I put them on this morning,

they were loose around the waist

…

a full hand can fit

between the front button and my belly.

I feel incredibly satisfied by this.

And I hope soon:

they'll be TOO BIG.


Too bad there are so many holiday treats around
causing me to stumble lately.
Who has chocolate for breakfast!?
A fat girl who definitely won't have loose pants
come January!
C'mon... gotta get it together right now.
