i have a pair of pants that i bought YEARS ago. i honestly don't remember when i bought these pants, i think some time in college. perhaps freshman or sophomore year. since it has been so long i don't really remember if they actually fit when i bought them, but for the past several years they really haven't fit. with the weight fluctuation i have been through they have been everywhere from not being able to even zip them up to zipping them but with a very unattractive roll spilling over the top.
i actually have thought about throwing these pants away. with every move to a new house i look at them and think about how much heartache this one pair of pants has caused me. yet with every move something has compelled me to keep them. i guess i have always viewed them as my "motivational pants".
today as i stood staring into my closet(s), thinking how nothing looked like something i wanted to wear i just stuffed my hand in and started moving things about. there, in the midst of several shirts and skirts were these pants. i have not tried to put these pants on since i moved into my house this past summer. i thought to myself, what the hell! so i pulled them out and put them on. not only did they fit... they fit well! even the thigh area was a bit baggy but that seems to be a bit of a trend.
that was my exciting news for the day.
toodles!

Your pants story reminds me of a saying on a set of coasters I have by Anne Taintor. (Do you know who she is? She likes to take vintage photographs and add her own captions.) Anyhow, the one I have says: "Food has replaced sex in my life. Now I can't even get into my own pants."
OK, it doesn't really apply but I thought you would enjoy is anyhow!
Congratulations.....as I read your thoughts I smiled at the pair/s of pants (and currently I feel like my entire wardrobe)that take up a special place in my closet too...and...hopefully one of these days I'll feel the excitment you did. Megan
