Waist Aware

Following on from yesterday's recruitment open day malarky, I thought I better sort out some kind of decent trouser wearing action. I generally live in jeans but even I know that's not really suitable for a job interview, for whenever I get one. I was on a mission, not only to get a job - but first to get a pair of trousers that to fit me.

Over the past few months the belt notches have been shifting in tandem with my weight loss. I've been aware that without the belt, I'd be arrested for making an arse of myself. Even with the belt, the size of my jeans are now definitely too big for me around the waist. There is nothing I can do about this though, I literally have no money to buy new jeans! I don't mind, it's not really noticeable or anything. What I do mind is forking out from any type of trouser because they usually need adjusted in the length department. It is very unusual for me to walk into a clothes shop and find something that just fits. I either have to buy online or get them "taken up".

My Dad came to my rescue regarding a proper pair of trousers. My jeans are all 36" waist, these trousers had the biggest label proclaiming 34" waist on them!! Suffice to say, I knew right there and then this was the moment of the day I would be blogging about - and that's before I tried them on. My fears were unfounded fortunately and they fitted me very well. Much better than my current jeans do! So I can officially now say I am a size 34" waist once more (it's been a couple of years!). It felt very good to accomplish that and another step on this journey that I am happy to have taken.

I must remember this the next time I go to buy trousers!!!
