But they were boyfriend jean shorts! Glad I kept a spare couple of old pairs, I get to participate in a trend on the cheap. </p> <p>Not that I wouldn't mind getting another size down. But just on the bottom half of me. Sigh. Somehow I don't think it works that way.</p> <p> Congrats, and I like your philosophy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-pants-are-falling-off#post-701308 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 19:40:04 +0000 Anonymous 701308@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, you DO need to be good to yourself. Besides, you can usually catch sales and end up paying less for the quality you deserve. It's not like there aren't choices out there. My mom used to say, "There's no economy in buying cheap stuff." </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-pants-are-falling-off#post-700956 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 10:12:59 +0000 Anonymous 700956@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Ironkurtin. Why wear cheap clothes just because you gained or lost a few pounds. I think I will put her statement on my refrigerator. Thank you for reminding me to be good to myself. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-pants-are-falling-off#post-700701 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 01:10:21 +0000 Suz 700701@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ditto what Shannon said. You rock! And someone else will happily rock those too-big jeans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-pants-are-falling-off#post-700682 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 00:56:26 +0000 Transcona Shannon 700682@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My weight has been a revolving door for the last 10 years IK and I applaud two things for you: first, accomplishing a goal you set for yourself regarding your weight and body shape; second, buying good quality clothes regardless of where you're at with your body. For years I bought cheap because my weight fluctuated and I constantly felt "yucky" in those clothes. I'm not doing that anymore. So I applaud you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-pants-are-falling-off#post-700660 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 00:42:30 +0000 Anonymous 700660@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's a good problem to have.

You go, girl! I am so cheap though, that I could very well have refused to lose weight in order to get my money's worth out of my clothes...</p> <p>I did have a few things tug at my heart as I put them in the donate pile though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-pants-are-falling-off#post-700514 Wed, 22 Aug 2012 21:26:06 +0000 Debbie 700514@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look wonderful and your hard work paid off so time for a reward! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-pants-are-falling-off#post-700510 Wed, 22 Aug 2012 21:19:52 +0000 ironkurtin 700510@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I refuse to buy cheap clothes. I love my body no matter what size it is, and it deserves the best I can give it - just like it gives to me. Even if I am no longer fit, even if I gain a lot of weight, I will always purchase the best, nicest-feeling, and most flattering clothes I possibly can. I deserve it.</p> <p>: ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-pants-are-falling-off#post-700496 Wed, 22 Aug 2012 20:56:55 +0000 JR 700496@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congrats on this kind of problem. ;o)</p> <p>But this is why I try not to spend too much on my clothes, when I want to shrink out of them... On the other hand, that philosophy kept me in cheap clothes for years. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-pants-are-falling-off#post-700479 Wed, 22 Aug 2012 20:38:34 +0000 ironkurtin 700479@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'll be getting rid of some of my jeans come fall, I think. Not sure a belt will salvage pants that were cut to be slim, but are now too big.</p> <p>It is sad for me to surplus jeans that I paid $150+ for because they no longer fit - even if it's because I worked the weight off. Thanks for your kind service, jeans! </p>
