Tailored Clothing


After weeks of pulling up my favourite jeans that I had to battle to get into, I have had to buy a new pair of trousers for non-jeans day as all my others are too big.

So here's the whole story I went into T*E*S*C*O today and had a look at the sale rail and found some 3/4 length black trousers. There was only one pair left in 18 but I bought them. There were size 20's too but I felt a little adventurous.

These are tailored trousers. Not a bit of elastic or lycra anywhere. Buttons and zip front. It was a challenge.

I walked home from T*E*S*C*O with the idea in my head that I doubt they will fit but I would have 2 options. 1: Take them back and get the bigger size or 2: Keep them and MAKE them fit one day with a lot of effort.

I got home and composed myself. Got myself mentally ready for them not to fit then tried them on. Got into the legs fine. Over the thighs, Wahey, my thighs aren't too fat (that was normally the BIGGEST problem area.) Over my bum without the assistance of control pants, then I was stunned to do them up with little effort.

I can't begin to say how pleased I am with that. I really didn't think it would be possible to be in non stretch garments in a size 18. Ok, I would still like to lose an inch or 2 off my hips as that's where they are a little tighter than in other places but I am so unbelievably happy with myself!

I have just eaten tonights dinner

King Prawns, rocket and tomato with a chili dressing and 2 slices of bread and margerine. I've been drinking water all day and had a medium walk for about an hour shopping, and already done 10 miles on the bike.

Speaking of the bike my pedal straps came off so I can't cycle quite so fast and the uncomfy seat is torturous so I have to sit on a towel. BUT I am refusing to give up now I am this far!
