As I put on a pair of house shorts (read: too skimpy/short/unflattering to be worn in public) I realized that they didn’t actually fit anymore. I was so excited! I’m! losing! weight!
Then I realized.
I am, in fact, not lose weight, but possibly even gaining it.
I have stretched seemingly fitting clothes to the point of exhausting the elastic waist (see, shorts not meant for public appearances) to where it’s in fact not elastic anymore, but plastic.
Because to be elastic it has to be able to capable of returning to its original length, shape, etc., after being stretched, deformed, compressed, or expanded.
Does it count that I’ve had these shorts for YEARS - since I was about 15 years old, making them about to embark on their 11th year?
Let’s say that the elastic has just deteriorated over the years and I have not actually stretched them beyond capacity. M’kay?
LOL Hey! At least you will wear a pair around the house–even if REALLY old–I will only wear capris or sun dresses, no shorts anymore LOL

Got on the scale at ww yesterday and had a 4 pound gain in 2 weeks. Not happy.
I don’t feel deserving to comment on your blog. Lol.

I wish I had a pair of old shorts to lie to me that way. I bought fat pants/shorts and am now down to only 2 of those that fit. The madness ends TODAY!

Too funny! I have “house-shorts” too! Just wore them this am, they’re pink, daisy-duke’s, and velour. Total slut shorts. I was smoking a cig. on our porch today, bending WAY over in them fiddling w/God-knows what, and then realized, “Good-Lord, we have neighbors in CLOSE proximety who could A)Be peering from through their window-blinds in total-disgust B) Be peering from their window-blinds with perversion (the 55 y.o. single, sometime warehouse-worker), or C) I’m totally paranoid. Regardless, I hauled-ass into my house and took them-off. (Sorry that was so long, just wanted to give ya’ a luagh!).

Sounds like perfectly logical reasoning you have there. Works for me
