Remember That TIGHT Waistband
As I drove home from work tonight, it occurred to me that I should remember how very TIGHT the elastic waistband on my black (as usual) pants was today. They’re size 18W, a LARGE 18W (because I have other 18Ws I can’t even think about wearing right now), and the 1.5-inch wide elastic was just binding into my waist so hard that there was a mark all the way around, and I couldn’t wait to get home and get them off.
My waist measurement as of today is 41″, and my abdomen is an unbelievable 51.5″.
I wanted to record this so that someday when these measurements are better, I can come back and celebrate how far I’ve come.
I also want to remember the day when Size 18W pants with a stretch waist nearly cut me in half, to remind me when I get smaller that I do NOT want to ever get to this place again!
