On my way to work today I had to pull over 3 times to get sick. I was running late due to this. It was just a plain crappy day. Got to work and went to run into work. As I run my pants dropped to the ground! Right around my ankles! I look around- thank God nobody was in the parking lot. I go into work with a red face of embarrassment and relief that nobody saw me. Well I forgot we have security cameras in the parking lot. Security came to my desk. (the only time they come to your desk is when you are getting fired) He said "Hey Brooke, I know what you should ask for for Christmas." I was thinking why the Hell did he come to say that to me. I said I don't know what. He said "Pants that fit" I almost pissed my pants. He just laughed.

Everyone at work has been making fun of my big pants, guess they aren't going to work anymore. LOL

Hi Brooke,
This is common, and it is a good thing (the weight loss) and in your case can be embarrassing.  I've had problems with all my clothes falling off, I said I'm going to get me some suspenders to keep my pants and underwear up.  I can't afford to be buying new clothes that often.  I just bought a new sewing machine, so am hoping to be able to alter some clothes. 
I know you have had such a rough time, but you also have lost a lot of weight.  Keep up the good work.  The security guard was really giving you a compliment in a round about way.

Sorry I had to laugh as my mom tells me my pants are so big I belong living back in Petersburg. I would fit in. I need to get these clothes together for you I am so sorry it's taking me so long. I actually don't know what size you need and if you need dress clothes or casual. I don't have any dress clothes but have a couple pair of jeans and tops. Jeans are 26 and 24's and tops are 2x and 3x.
Maybe he had to come to your desk and mention it as he liked what he saw...LOL

yeah we are friends. He thought it was sooo funny. I was just happy I did not fall on my face. I think I am wearing 24/26 My pants I had on were a 30. Way to damn big. I never wear dressy clothes. Don't worry about the clothes thing. I am dealing. I need to invest in a belt for sure though lol

I'm sorry you had a rough trip into work.  I'm hoping your tummy is feeling better.

I can't help but laugh at your pants horrifying wow moment.  Even though I know you wanted to crawl under a rock, just think how freaking cool it is to lose THAT much weight that you pants fall off.  I say stand proud (in your 'wears') and smile big for the cameras if it every happens again.  LOL.  Treat yourself to a few new pairs of pants to tide you over a few more sizes.  :)

Hey Brooke, sorry that happened, but think about how much better that is then having your zipper break cause you're too big for your pants (yeah thats happened to me) Try JCPenney, they had some great pants on clearance for like 14 dollars marked down from like 48.  Hope they can get that tummy figured out!
