Well, almost lost them. I have exactly 4 pairs of work pants that fit right for my current weight. All are new and require hemming. I took 2 pairs to the tailor and the other 2 are with a friend. I figured I could manage for a few days with one out-of-fashion pair and one larger pair if I used a binder clip (safety pin wasn't cutting it and a belt was not an option). All was fine until I left the building at the end of the day when the clip dislodged and my pants dropped ... by an inch or so. We have cameras all over the place and I didn't want to fix my problem in public, so I just clutched the extra fabric at my hip and walked awkwardly to my car. Got me to thinking how embarrassing, albeit funny, it would have been if my pants had been even looser and really fallen down. Has this actually happened to anyone?

When I lost 20lbs a few years ago, my skirts used to spin around and thankfully not drop!

Haha! Yes! We have stairs in our house and I was jogging up them carrying a washing basket and I felt my trousers slipping but with hands full I just let them drop. My five year old was coming up behind me thought it was hilarious!

When I was taking off the pregnancy weight, I remember I finally noticed (other than the scale) that I was losing when I used the bathroom at work and realized that my work pants could just slip right off without unbuttoning or unzipping.

I think my hips are too big for that to ever happen

I hope you got your other pants back!!!
