Day 294: The Sweatpants Trick

Welcome everyone to Spring. It is a breezy 65 degrees today, with cold mornings and cool evenings, but I'll take it. I'll take it all. The first thing I notice when I'm outside is how quickly we switch clothes in our closet. I see a lot of open toes already (remember pedicures, people) and a lot of dresses showing off the curves. Well, I want to! I love dresses, absolutely love how freeing they can be, unfortunately not many dresses I own, I can wear to work. (Well, maybe. I got away with it at my last job).

So I went to the store last night, just to see what there was. Tangerine is the new color, which also happens to be my favorite color to wear and while I love all the options that previously weren't there now ERRBODY has my color on! So I go to try on dresses, and walk into the dressing room with my sweatpants on.

Now sweatpants are a tricky thing, so comfortable so great for winter, able to hide a few extra pounds of winter, but also makes you look GREAT. When I have on sweatpants and a t-shirt, there are no rolls, no sides sticking out, no thighs, no hips nothing. My stomach doesn't come over my sweatpants, I actually look like I have a two pack with my sweatpants on. And then I put on cotton dresses. you know the ones you put on over bathing suits, light and airy, and shows every single one of your curves. AND lookie here, thighs and hips in 26years I've never seen them look like that before. They look like they're prepping to birth some babies. LOL. Oh man, I put my sweatpants back on and hi-tailed it out of there....

Operation disappear, work out daily, and reappear in shape may commence. Like an anonymous friend said, "you know like those women who have okay faces but their bodies are the reason you go out with them?? and I went wait that's me. Time to get that body right. (not just in sweatpants...)
 My stomach looks like this in sweatpants....

 And this in anything else....
