  • So, I have close friend. She has been really supportive about the weight loss and asks me how I do it. I think of her as being very slightly overweight, but no major weight problem.

    She calls me a couple of nights ago and tells me that she has bought some black pants at a thrift store and they are too wide for her, but she thinks they would fit me-- would I like them?

    So, I was thinking, well, I'm not as wide as I used to be--- maybe if they're too big for you, they'll be too big for me... but then I thought-- no she probably sees me that way I really am so the pants will probably fit.

    She drops off the pants, and... sigh... the wide pants fit like a glove. I think, oh well, I guess I'm still wide.

    But then, later that evening, she calls back, all embarrassed-- telling me that she is so sorry that she dropped off the wrong pants-- instead of the wide pants, she dropped off the ones that fit her!

    Guess I can't wear her cast-off wide pants after all!
  • LOL That's great!!! what a wonderful NSV! Did you tell her they fit you perfectly?
  • AHA! That's so awesome.
  • That is so great!!! I think you should buy yourself some new sexy pants as a reward.
  • That's great!
  • haha--LOVE this NSV! That had to have made you feel GREAT! =D
  • GREAT story...good ending.
  • That's funny. Awesome story.
  • No more wide pants for you!! It's interesting to get a little glimpse into how others view you.. turns out she was wrong! Sounds like it would feel pretty darn good

  • hahahah - that's funny!!!!!
  • That's cool. Do you get to keep them or do you have to give them back?
  • very funny - can't wait to find out how she reacts when you tell her that the not-wide pants fit you perfectly!
  • Tell her too bad - you're keeping them!
  • HAHAHAHA....

    the funny thing is that after I tried on the pants, I told my DD "oh poor me, the "wide pants fit perfectly..." LOL, and my DD took the phone call from my friend...

    I said, "did you tell her that the smaller pants fit me perfectly?" and she said "I didn't think that would be tactful mom..."

    I won't say a word, because my friend has been going through a lot lately and I know the pants offer was an offer of kindness, but I still got a lot of secret enjoyment.
  • Ubergirl, not only was that a great story, but you have class!!
