Gosh, this post cracked me up. And very honestly, I JUST saw a lady at my clinic two days before reading this with the exact same jeans on! I tried so hard not to stare, but I was just blown away at how and why anyone in 2008 could slip those on needing to hold their boobs up just to button them, and even think that they were remotely attractive! I hate to sound catty (okay, maybe I don’t) but how do you wear something and feel good in them, when you don’t see ANYONE else in something similar?!? AH!

I’m slowly grieving the loss of my jeans as my hips start to widen again, and my fatty pooch starts to get even pudgier…
even my “fat” jeans are no longer working….pretty soon I’m going to have to pull out the panel pants. IKES!

audrey – ahhh how i covet a fabulous pair of jeans. impossible to find and when i do find them, i wear them at least 4 x per week and neglect every other not quite right pair in my closet! so good luck easing into your old body (yeah it takes a while for me even after the weight was all off somehow my hips were still not back to normal and seemed to stick out so that my jeans just would not come up past my theighs!!!!). total body re-alignment occured eventually……….and when it does you will feel sooo awesome! only problem you might have – and i have this now with all my clothes – is that it’s been so long that i’ve gone shopping that even when the old stuff fits – i find it is no longer in style! it’s like being trapped in some time warp you know?

OH how I craved sushi when I was pregnant!!!
And I, too love me some denim, and could not wait to get back into my jeans. I refuse to go the “mom jeans” route as well. I have found that there are many stylish, modern jeans out there for moms with a little curve that do not come too low in the rise (they’re just slightly below the belly button) and do not gap at the back. Keep looking, “mom – jeans” ladies…you’ll find them! (Unfortunately it will be after trying on 99 other pairs!)
Besides, jeans with a fuller leg and a little “flare” at the bottom will even out your curves a bit and look even better on you than a straight or tapered leg. They won’t give you that pear shape look we all dread!
And hang in there, Audrey. You’ll be wearing that fleet of denim very soon!

I, sadly, am a mom-jean person. Mostly because I’d rather wear mom jeans than show my butt crack. For me, it’s the lesser of two evils. (sigh)
