Panties in a Twist
Since loosing a bunch of weight, I've finally had to break down and buy some new underwear. I, absolutely abhor shopping for underwear because you can't try them on and you can't return them. So your stuck with them. So you have to guess the correct size by what size pants you wear. The guides on the underwear package lie! They only go by weight and not actual size... they suck when you have a larger caboose.
So, anyway, I had to buy them. So I bought a size XL and a size L. I figured that they were close to the size 16 pants I wear now. The size L fit great.
So here's the issue. When you finally have underwear that fit properly, when you go potty, you have to drop the drawers to your ankles to be able to open your legs wide enough to clean up afterward. Then when you go to pull them up, they're all twisted and such a pain!
I never had that problem with my old size 6X baggy bloomers, but then again.. they never actually stayed up any more. lol
Sigh*****... something else to get used to... (I think I can handle the pressure LOL)...
Just a strange observation from someone getting accustomed to her new body....

You can either believe it will happen.....or believe it won't. Both are self fulfilled prophesies. For Me it has happened. My Surgery was September 21/2010
You were DEFINATELY laughing WITH me... lol..
This is one of those things that annoys the hell out of you... but all you can really do is laugh....
I call this a big NSV... I dropped down 6 sizes in underwear, 10 inches and 3 cup sizes in my bra, my tops have gone from a tight 32 to a loose 14, my pants have gone from a very tight 32/34 to a size 16. Even my shoes have to shrink. I've gone from a size 8 1/2W to a regular 8 very comfortably....
I've cleaned out my closet drastically. Almost everything has been replaced... including the dreaded underwear... I only really have the basics for now... because I don't intend to stop here... just a resting point.. I still have another 40 or so pounds to go...
I've kept any clothing suitable for camping and gardening.. as long as they stay up... lol..
If feels soooooo good to be able to buy clothing that I like.. not just clothing that fits...
I figure if we can't laugh at ourselves, we might as well roll over and drop down 6 feet under.
