I have had tightness issues with my pants.
A few weeks ago, I noticed a gray pair of JCrew Bowery
Classic Fit trousers, 33x32, feeling too short and tight. And then, last week, a different pair of
JCrew Bowery Classic Fit trousers, 33x32, also started feeling too tight. It’s
very embarrassing. Today I decided to
wear a black pair of Gap Straight Fit trousers, 33x32. These pants had always seemed a little looser
than then JCrew pants, so I felt confident they woudn’t feel tight. Sadly, I was wrong. They feel tight in my crotch and upper thigh
areas. I decided to take off my belt,
which helps a little. I think my
colleague said it best: I’m drinking too many iced apple ciders and eating too
much Shake Shack custard. Well, yes, but
the real issue is I stopped exercising.
But as of last week, I am fixing that problem, so I will continue to
drink the ciders and eat the custards, and at the very least I will stabilize,
if not drop the few pounds it seems I’ve gained.
Interesting fact: when you put on a little bit of weight and
your slacks become snug at the waist, this actually makes the pants shorter,
perhaps because of the wedgy that pulls them in a northward direction. It’s
very humiliating, but if you were to be walking behind me (and many people try
to walk behind me so they can see my world-famous rear end) you would notice my
pants riding up my crack.
