Cheryl Throws Away her "Fat Pants" for good

Pants –

I had to change my pants today.  First the first time in a LONG time I had to change them not because one of my kids spilled on me, threw-up on me, got paint on my pants or stepped on me with their extremely dirty shoes… nope.  This time I had to change them because they were too big!!! YEAH! 

OK, I’ll admit I was wearing my “fat” pants, the ones I wear when I’ve been on a food bender for 2 months, or its post-holiday season.  But still, that’s something!  I have a bunch of those “fat” pants which have pushed aside the “not-as-fat-as-the-fat-pants” pants.  And my skinny pants, well those don’t even get space in the closet anymore.  They are in a container under the bed.  But, in the next few weeks I am going to bring those out again –put them on the hangers and aim to get into those cute little black capri’s I bought way back when.  I don’t even care if they are not in style anymore – I just hope they fit!

All of my girlfriends laugh about our “fat” pants.  We traded them around when we were 4 months pregnant and then again after we had the babies.  But, it’s not really funny when you’re still wearing them 3 years post-baby.  Well, I’m sick of wearing the fat pants and yo-yoing back and forth into those pants.  I’m taking a stand… No More Fat-Pants!!!  Now that I’m out of them, I’m not going back!

Easier said than done – I know.  But, eating small healthy meals (protein at every meal) 6 times a day is really working for me.  And better yet, it’s becoming a habit.  It’s like my stomach has become an alarm clock that growls at me every 3 hours – and it’s pretty reliable too.  It growls, I look at the clock, it’s been 3 hours, I eat.  It’s definitely been a transition from my old habits but if it keeps me out of my fat pants then I’m sticking to it!
