Actual magnet on my fridge. Why yes, I AM the only female in my house…why do you ask?
OK, so one of my favorite quotes of all time is: “Put on your big girl panties and deal with it!”
It’s like a slap in the face and an atta-girl all wrapped up in one!
But there is ONE other thing I love about “big-girl panties” – how indescribably COMFY they are!
As you now know, I’ve lost at least 50 (more like 62, if you go by my sick weight) pounds on this elimination diet for Mr. Happy.
My clothes don’t fit anymore. They’re literally falling off of me. I’ve dropped 5-6 dress sizes. (That’s like, from a 16/18 to a SIX, y’all!)
One thing I have NOT done?
Bought new underwear.
Oh, I bought A new bra. (And three weeks later had to buy a new one, which is why I’m buying one at a time…) But panties? Nope. Still wearing the same ones I wore before I lost the weight.
Perhaps my denial at my previous size was stronger than I realized, and I had just chosen to NOT buy the appropriate size underwear for my voluminous heinie back in the day.
Whatever.
What I DO know is this: the underwear I was wearing when I was THAT much larger? DOES NOT RIDE UP.
For those ladies out there who love thongs, God Bless You. I don’t understand you; in fact, I think you’re probably closet masochists, but God Bless You, anyway.
Me? I prefer my underwear to stay firmly over my heinie, thankyouverymuch.
So I think I’ll stay in the same underwear for as long as it doesn’t actually, you know, fall off. Because as long as it stays put where I want it to stay put?
It’s staying put.
Truth time: would you be willing to wear panties in a HUGE number size just to keep them from riding up, or do you buy thongs on purpose?
