The other day I went shopping for something to wear to a picnic. I was looking for shorts but since all the fall clothes were out I was out of luck. Ever the sensible shopper I decided to pick up a couple of pants instead. Nothing I have fits anyway so it’s not like I’m buying something I don’t need.

So I picked up a couple of pairs of pants in the size I thought would fit. I quick trip to the dressing room showed that I needed a smaller size…Woo~Hoo…so I headed back out to check out a smaller size. I was in luck. I not only found a the size I was looking for but also pants and jeans without low waists…I don’t really like those (my pooch belly looks bad in those).

I was all excited and came home to share my good luck with my friends in Paradise. Several wanted to see a picture of my new jeans so I pondered that…when Jaci bought new jeans she posted a picture on her blog. Aren’t her jeans gorgeous and she’s got a sexy bod so it’s easy for her to post a picture. I on the other hand don’t have a size 2 body so jeans don’t really look the same…*ggg*.

Any way back to the chatter in Paradise…after they heard about my stubborn streak when it comes to pants/jeans with a low waist they explained why I should change my mind. The lower waist makes your bottom look better (not as big). Well that may work for some but I don’t show my bottom anyway so it really doesn’t matter…

Oh wait, I do show my bottom off now…I forgot. Now that I've lost weight I don’t wear shirts long enough to cover everything. I’m tucking my shirts in and wearing shirts that stop below my waist. I forget because for so long I’ve worn shirts to cover everything from my neck to my thighs cause of my size. Now I don’t have to cover up my tummy because even though it’s not flat I’m not embarrassed by it.

As for posting a picture…well I wasn’t really going to post one. I was going to send it to Jaci and a few others offline. But I must say…

Yes Jaci, you were right…they do make your bottom look bigger…*G*
