Day 60 Part II--Elastic Pants

The link attached below is where I pulled a couple of pictures for today's blog subject. Check it out. http://www.peopleofwalmart.com/.

The pic to your left illustrates many points regarding elastic wear. This is why I don't shop at Walmart. The website is funny and sad at the same time. I will say this. Walmart is a great gage of showing you where we might be headed in terms of the health of our nation. Just closely check out the photo. If the National Healthcare Bill passes, we will be paying for this woman's lack of fitness.

I noticed, about a year ago, when Egg Nogg Bill was in his infancy, that Kohls now sells elastic dress pants. Maybe this has been going on for years but I never reached the girth where I had to consider such options. And I am embarressed to reveal that I did purchase one pair, and still have refused to wear them. Regardless, this is a bad sign for America. We are giving into obesity.

Clothes with elastic should only be permitted in certain settings such as, the swimming pool or around general water activities, when running or playing any kind of sport, for pj's, underwear (or lingerie depending on what you prefer) and for most importantly pregnant women, who should have the only true pass for wearing stretchy waisted pants in public while they have a large belly. So if you are wearing stretchy pants, that is loose/over sized stretchy pants, and someone asks "when are you expecting" you have no right to give that person a dirty look or give a nasty reply even if you are a male. Ha Ha. Take it as a sign that you need to wake up. Keep in mind that I have no issue with people wearing spandex in public as long as are in shape.

So if you are not pregnant and not working out or doing something "special" with your better half then you can not wear elastic anything. Elastic allows us to ignore our growing belly's. For pregnant women it represents a celebration. And it shows they are "working" too making a baby.

In addition, sweats or elastic pants are not for wearing all day, unless you are running a marathon or you are about to go into labor. So any of you out there who work out of the house and have an "office" day, you need to put on your work clothes, not sweats or elastic based attire. Sweats or elastic clothes are meant for movement and sweating. Hello, that is why we call them "sweats". They are not "drys" or even "lazies."

The picture to your right is how one should look when wearing Walmart fashion. This is Jillian Michaels. The caption describes her as looking for her next "Biggest Loser." I am sure she wont have a problem. I applaud her for making a career out of fat.

She looks like a cheerleader who is going out of her way to help the unhealthy nerds, me being one of them. And I tell you what, if she woke me up everyday dressed like that making me go to the gym, I would stay there all day, until I couldn't move anymore. Ha Ha.
