Where Are My Fat Clothes?

It's that time of the year again.....time for Fat Clothes!  It happens every year around this time, without fail.  I'll have worked all summer getting in shape.  That tummy pouch will finally have faded, replaced almost visibly with muscle.  I'll be back down to my "Skinny Clothes"--feeling ever so proud of my bad self!  Then....

It starts out slow.  The workouts fall by the way side because school throws off my routine.  Then I hit the Halloween candy--Sweetarts are my weakness, followed a close second by Snickers.  I'm embarrassed to say that I, uh...gorge on Sweetarts.  And those bite sized Snickers...omg...you could eat a hundred before you even realize it.

But things aren't too bad in the clothing department. The skinny jeans are still fitting, at least stretching out comfortably by the end of the day.  Just a little mini-muffin top.  I can catch this.  I think to myself, girl, you need to crunch!  But I don't.  By now I've lost the mojo.

The Thanksgiving celebrations cantor by--pumpkin pie. My oh my!  Sure I'll have another piece!!  That cute little outfit I've picked to wear isn't quite so comfortable anymore.  Looking in the mirror.....Yep--full blown muffins tops!   Skinny jeans are all day tight.

And still to come??  Christmas!!  Baking!  Cookies!  Lots and lots of good food!! 

Definitely time to drag out the 'fat clothes', boxing the skinny jeans away until my mojo returns in April, when I will, once again, work to shed my winter insulation.

Oh wait....I can't do that.  I have no 'fat clothes'.  On the advice of a friend, I gave them all away. 
"If you don't have them, you won't gain the weight back."

She was WRONG!!  I have no clothes that fit!!

So now I'm faced with an interesting dilemma.  Since I refuse to give up my holiday treats--Spritz, Chocolate Chip Cookies, Hay Stacks, among other things--I am left with only two choices. 

I can either exercise.....or......go shopping.

Hummmm.............
