I've lost weight and now my pants are too......LONG?!?

[Yaya 81]

82 pounds gone (I'm over halfway there!), and I expected my pants to be too big, but now they are too long! I guess I never realized how much my heavy thighs took up my pants. Now that my thighs are thinner, my pants drape and drag the ground! I had always bought the "tall" sizes so they wouldn't look like floodpants, (I'm 5'8", which I thought was tall!) but now I guess it's back to "average". Sigh. At least the overall size is smaller! Have to get used to my shirts being drapey too. I'm trying not to buy every size on the way down.

Ha I'm having that problem with new pants! I'm like um since when did they start making regular pants inseam longer. People just look at me like I'm a freak when I ask that. But it's true I've always had to deal with tall jeans being way to long or regular being short and now regulars are long!

Yaya

pants are tooo long???

maybe your legs are too short!!

when i was "heavier" i had to pull my pants up high to go over my big tummy

now that my big tummy is gone - the pants get pulled right up - and the "excess" legs would hang "over"

oh well, i loved it as i was growing out of my clothes

go to the thrift shop for your in between clothes as you lose weight

82 lbs down - 1/2 way to goal

what an amazing job

keep up the good work

kathy

Congrats on your weight loss! I spend a lot of time in thrift shops getting clothes in each size. I go through a size every 3 or 4 weeks at this point in my weight loss. Savers, a chain of thrift shops, sometimes has really good sales. Over the weekend, they were having a 50% off sale (off thrift shop prices!), so I stocked up on the next size down - a complete wardrobe in a size 6 for $76, including shoes!! And almost everything I purchased was Ann Taylor or banana Republic. Loving it! I look forward to getting dressed these days.!

I'm sorry I turned green with envy and was unable to read past the point where you said "I go through a size every 3-4 weeks". Did you say much after that?

I have to admit I am both envious and very happy for you. Congrats!

I used to wear my pants like Curly, now I have hip bones. Pants can now be shorter. Nyuk,nyuk.Nyuk!

I do Savers as well. So excited yesterday to buy a black leather jacket for $12! Thrift shops really help my self esteem by letting me wear clothes that fit and look good. Even got a pantsuit for work for $4.

Terrible, isn't it? I'm grateful I'm only shrinking in width not height! (At 5-4-ish I refuse to admit/look/be any shorter )

^{I kind of hoped getting rid of the weight would actually cause me to stand up straighter and be taller, but I guess that would really only be a change from the waist up.}
