Waistland

I went shopping for clothes on Saturday with my brother and came across what I suppose is a common quandry for out-of-shape people, like myself. You get to the clothing hangers, in this case, the pants area and you start looking for pant/waist sizes.

So I'm looking at the pants near my *current* waist size, and thinking if I should buy these pants that will be very comfortable for me, but slightly larger. OR, should I go for the ones that are slightly smaller, force myself to suck it in but if I workout a bit, they'll fit perfectly.

Because the thing is if I do buy the smaller ones, and do workout, then I'm better off. But if I buy the comfortable ones, it'll allow me to fill them out even more, and then the next thing you know I'm at the store buying even bigger ones because I've managed to fill out those fat pants.

In the end I winded up getting all my size or larger.

That's different though, you guys are married. I need to keep motivated to push myself into at least attempting to make myself attractive.

Or maybe I should just let it go.. loose pants feel really good!

I can't do the blog thing because then I'll have to be accountable to it. ^_^

My main reason for working out is for Longlac, so I can lift kids up over my head more easily. I had some trouble last year with some of the bigger kids. As for the belly, that is really more for me.
