Funny, should-have-happened awhile ago, WOW moment
Warning - may have gender-sensitive TMI
As I was losing weight I got smaller and smaller pants, shirts, even bras, to fit my shrinking frame, but for some reason it never occured to me that I might need to get new panties (well, that's not totally true, I started all this wearing size 10 underwear, then about a year out I switched to size 8 and have been wearing that size ever since). Finally, now that I am almost 3 years out and down 160+ pounds, I have been getting fed up with my panties and their refusal to stay put. I was venting this frustration to my sister, who asked what size underwear I was wearing, and so I told her, and then she laughed at me and insisted I go get new, smaller panties. I tried size 7's and they were still baggy, then size 6's and still baggy....I wear I size 5 now. Amazing. For almost 2 years I have been wearing underwear that is 3 sizes two big. So in light of this development I went on a panty-shopping-spree getting all kinds of cute things
I have never had so many cute pairs of under-things before. it is a wonderful life

Amy 293/140 - AT GOAL!
Good for you Amy!
I know how you feel... I had the 'panty' conversation with people on another board.... lol... because I just recently started feeling like I am always losing my pants, lol. Time for some new ones.

Well I had this experience too. I litterally have giant boxers that have actually completely fallen off, I have started to wear size small boxer briefs, because us guys like a little bit of air, but a little bit of support too!
As to why I held on so long (I actually still have a few of those giant boxers in my roation!): Jerry Seinfeld summed it up best in a monologue during the espisode of his show where George sells all of his dad's clothes to a vintage clothing store (he tries to tell the clerk his dad had passed away):
"...men wear their underwear until it absolutely disintegrates. Men hang on to underwear until, until each individual underwear molecule is so strained it can barely retain the properties of a solid. It actually becomes underwear vapor. W-we don't even throw it out, we just open a window and it goes out like dandelion spoors. That's how men throw out underwear we just go (blows on the mic) and it's gone that it is just it..."![](http://images.obesityhelp.com/_shared/images/smiley/msn/rofl.gif)
...one of those "it's so funny 'cuz it's so true" kind of things!
