The thing is, everyone needs sweats and just run around clothes, and it was always such a shame I could not just pick them up at Sam's bc the XL, and if they even had an XXL it was also too SMALL. Plus I'm short and it is hard to find petite women's sweats that fit. And who wants to hem a pair of SWEATS??? Not me!!

Yesterday, 5 weeks out of surgery, picked up an XXL capri sweats at Sam's Club and said, "ooooohwwweeeeee these are big". Then grabbed a XL pair of sweats/capri cut and walked off with them to purchase. Stood in a long line and kept looking at the pants and finally realized..."Holy CRAP, this size is still too big."

So then I HAD TO walk ALLLLLL the way back over there (with a big smile on my face) to get a size LARGE and took them home and they fit JUST RIGHT. Even if they shrink a bit they will still fit fine.

SEVEN BUCKS, WOO HOOOOOO.

Not to say a large would fit in every style, but second time I've bought something since surgery and both times it was NOT in the women's dept. THANKING GOD FOR THAT.

I can't wait to be able to buy some petite low waist JEANS that are not Women's Petite...but not yet.

My husband and sons sing "Pants on the Ground" after I've worn my jeans for a while. They get really baggy. But like someone else said, the waist isn't falling off. I'm still a bit swollen around the belly so until my bottom "row" of fat" deflates I'm trying not to wear new pants that are too snug there.

How fabulous pumpkin ! ! ! Keep up the great work, you'll be rolling the waist up on those sweats before you know it to keep them up.
