Day 87 Pants

I am back. I doubt you missed me.

So this morning, I went through my closet examining my dress pants. And low and behold, to my delight, I now have three more pairs of pants that I can wear and my black belt, which I put two more ice pick holes, a few weeks back, are now looking a little silly on these "new" pants.

I have myself fitting back into 38 inch waist pants. I was in 42's and squeezing into 40's back when I started this journey. Also I have nice pair of Banana Republic Black Dress pants that are 36" waist that I can force myself into but they are still too tight for comfort. But I am closer to them. So I have 6 pairs of dress pants.

And Suzanne is still giving me the "You look horrible in those jeans" look but I am not going to waste money on hangout jeans. Not until they look like the new suit, suit pants we bought in November, will I buy a new pair. I bought a new suit around Thanksgiving and had it all fitted. And now the pants have all kinds of extra fabric and they look silly but they are black to its ok--you really don't notice, unless your name is Suzanne. Not until I the clothes look like they did on the little boy in Big will I buy new ones. Or have them taken in or burn them or donate them.
