DO YOUR “REAL CLOTHES” STILL FIT?

[ Edited ]

It's been seven or eight weeks now enjoying the comfort of my yoga pants, workout clothes and no bra (yay!). I've been eating a lot more than usual and even though walking and doing YouTube yoga classes, my gym has been closed for 5 weeks...no good sweaty workouts. 

While doing laundry yesterday, I figured I better try on my jeans and pants and see how I'm doing. Yes, everything still fits! I'm not a scale watcher, but judge by my clothes feeling tighter. 

Are your pants getting a little snug after "sheltering in place"?

They sure are! My pants still fit, but they are snug. I'm having a problem socially distancing from my refrigerator. I have always been a boredom eater, so this has been a little tough.

I haven’t tried everything on, but I have on my smallest size jeans today. I figure if I can get in those, my other pants should fit too. I’ve eaten more sweets & candy from Easter the last couple of weeks, but I’m not overeating.

Re: DO YOUR “REAL CLOTHES” STILL FIT?

I've been working from home since 3/18.  I hate it, but mostly I hate not having a gym to use at lunch and after work.  I'm a gym rat.  I have a pilates machine and treadmill at home.  I've continued to jog outside and ride my bike when weather pemits, but I miss the weight machines.  I'm thin and need the muscle building.  I'm eating much healthier at home (less munching), so my weight hasn't gone up. even though I need a few pounds.  The problem is that I have to sit in front of the laptop sp much that I think my weight is shifting from my rear to my middle!  Waaaaah!

Nothing is fitting very well, I am working at the hospital but I find myself eating too much at work and at home. Stress eating at work and boredom eating at home. Trying to stop reaching for junk. Hope I can get control because it makes me rather miserable to feel my clothes so tight. Trying to take weight off is not new to me so I just need to wrap my mind around it and do it.

They actually do. I've lost 3.5 pounds since this all started.  But the first 2 weeks, I did a lot of mindless eating.  Once I came to the realization that I couldn't keep that up, I'm not snacking as much and have done a lot of extra cardio, which I think accounts for some of the  weight loss.  But it has taken a lot of self control because even when I'm in the office--I snack when I get bored.

Wearing same clothes, but I did drag out the row machine. I usually go to gym, but hey, hello row machine. I should be 10pounds down by now according to my personal goals.

The answer to this question depends on what time of day we're talking about. If it's 8-9 am, I put on my jeans but have great difficulty closing them up. However, jeans stretch, so that by 10am I can zip and snap them.

Yes I still have to put on real outside work pants with a waist button and no spandex every day.

 

Remember when we had to wear wool pencil skirted suits to work?  Those kept us on the straight and narrow.
