That is the question. I’ve went down a size, but I’m by no means skinny. How I’ve been handling it thus far is by purchasing a couple of pairs of pants at Walmart and wearing them over and over. I’m hoping not to remain at this size for much longer, so I don’t want to sink money into clothes. The situation is made more complicated, though, by the fact that I wear a tall in everything, and that can be difficult to find at discount stores.

I suppose not being able to buy clothes right now is a good motivator. It gives me time to save money so I can buy things like that darling Ann Taylor outfit that I found. That one is listed as “work casual”. For me, it would be “work dress up”. And I’d have to hope that I didn’t have to deal with any kids throwing fits.

Although taking a kid down would probably burn some calories. No, nope. Don’t wanna.
