My pants fell down at work!

By sarahp626

I need to buy a belt. I wore some slacks that is a size 18 that I haven't worn in a long time since the lapband. It's 6:55 a.m., windy and cold. I suppose to be at work for 7 a.m. As I am getting out the car with my hands full (lunch bag, purse etc.) I was rushing into Chase and all of a sudden I felt something coming down. I :eek:LOOK DOWN:scared2: and saw my pants down by my thighs! OMG I pull them up and kept walking. I was too embrassed to look around to see if anyone saw me. :ohmy: Good thing I had on a grudle! After my embrassment I felt great about myself. I was disappointed in myself the past week because I felt I should have lost more weight and I also haven't exercised in two weeks. Knowing that my clothes was big engouh for them to fall down made me happy again. When I gotten dress that morining the pants felt fine....I didn't think I needed a belt.

    Oh Sarah...

    That has been a fear of mine. Unfortunately (or fortunately depending on how you look at it) my "pooch" in the front keeps them up. Usually the part that is way too big first is the legs. I felt like I was wearing clown pants.

    Anyway I'm sure no one noticed. Everyone is always wrapped up in there own life....especially when it is windy and cold.

    Don't waste money on a belt. Honey just buy some new pants. :wink_smile:

    Hi Sarah: Loved your story, hope you didn't get too cold. Just a note, every 10-15 lbs is a new size. I started buying my clothes at a consignment shop because it was just too costly to keep investing in clothes that wouldn't fit in a month or so, and I found a nice clean store with good quality clothing. Wow, a whole new wardrobe for a fraction of the cost.

    Blessings, Nancyb, banded 6/07, was size 24 pants, now 16/14.
