I’ve been slowly losing weight over the last few months.  For giggles (and a serious lack of clean pants) I pulled out a pair of pants I haven’t worn in ages.  They were just too tight, and for a while, I think they didn’t button at all.  But today, they fit.  No sucking in my gut.  No nothing.  Just button and zip.  I need to get them shortened though.  Why do clothing designers think our legs get longer as our hips get bigger?
