So, I have this stack of pre-pregnancy pants/capris in my bedroom. I’ve been using them as a gauge to indicate when I’m at my pre-pregnancy size as I’ve been slowly but surely able to squeeze myself into more and more of them. (I stacked them with the biggest/loosest on top and the tiniest/tightest on bottom). This morning? I thought about trying the denim capris on that I could not fasten closed last week (but I could pull them up, which was a big step). I pulled them on and sucked it in (and in, and in, and in) and possibly prayed to the gods of flexible fabrics and then, Bam! they were fastened.
Now, keep in mind, I could barely breathe and I may have had to pull some excess flab up above the waistline, but they were fastened, and the diet choirs of angels sang in praise. Unfortunately, I was a bit worried about the whole “muffin-top” issue that both Amy and RSM have spoken out against recently. I didn’t want somebody I passed on the street to do a blog entry about my flab hanging over my waist-line, but I also really wanted to enjoy fitting into these capris, so I just found a long-ish shirt to wear with them.
I went to the restroom awhile ago, before leaving to nurse NikkiZ. I wanted to survey the waist-line again before I left the office because I didn’t want the young girls teaching NikkiZ’s class to see my muffin-top when I sat down to feed her. I did the turn thing looking in the mirror to make sure no flesh was showing. As I looked at my rear-end, I pulled up the shirt to see how much flab was hanging out the back from my ass when I realized: Shit. My underwear is on inside-out.
How glamorous is that? To not only see my underwear (I hate the word “panties”) above my capris (but under the flab), but to also see the tag on the outside indicating that not only do I break fashion rules by wearing pants obviously too small, but I also can’t put my underwear on right.
I’m so awesome.
Please say they were the maternity underwear…that is the only thing that could make this story even better.
oh no!!!!! That sucks! What did you do?
I hate the word “panties” too - HATE IT!
I kind of like “knickers”, myself.
At least you didn’t put your shirt on inside out or backward?
Happy 2000, by the way.
I can relate, girl!!
YAY for 2,000!!
i have put my PANTIES on inside out on more than one occassion. i realize i am a crackhead. LOL
no muffin top. good girl. cover the muffin
HAHAHAHA!!!
since having children, I wear my undies inside out about 99% of the time I think……it makes me nuts but I don’t usually have time to care…..
Finally. Someone who is normal and admits to this kind of stuff!
Holy crap - that had me laughing so hard!
