So..I'm having a hard time breaking up with my fat jeans. These are the last pair I bought before surgery because all my other jeans were getting too tight. Because I don't work, I spend much of my time in shorts, PJ's, yoga pants or workout pants. For me, wearing jeans is almost like dressing up :-)

These jeans are now huge on me. And of course that feels great, but every time I reach for jeans, these are the ones I grab. Want to grab. They look horrible on! I have no idea why I am holding onto them. Fear, I suppose. I don't even want to throw them away.

Anyone else go through this?

I have a pair of 28s that I've not gotten rid of yet, but I have decided to stop wearing them cause the last time I was out in them they nearly fell off. See if you can find the same brand of jeans in your size.

Go to Goodwill every week or two and try on jeans. Once you get a pair of two that fit you (and ignore the size because different brands are all over the map) you'll love wearing good fitting jeans. I didn't even own a pair of jeans at my top weight of 302. My jeans from 280 pounds are in a drawer for posterity. I kept them and my winter coat. Everything else I donated.

Kick them to the curb!!

Had the same thing. The 20s I got from goodwill were so baggy but went to try on jeans at Macy's today and none of the 18s or 20s fit. They all were those slim fit ones. My god slim fit plus size jeans??? What the heck!!!
