Battle of the Bulge

I know I can't be the only one out there that fights with their weight.  I lost about 25-30 lbs for the wedding last year and now it is back.  Admittedly because I don’t have a purpose for keeping the weight off, I don't try too hard.  I hate working out.  I get bored easily.  I was doing a Zumba class on Friday mornings at work, but then a meeting was scheduled at work every Friday morning for six months, and Zumba went out the window.  I tried working out with a friend from work and then we kind of got off track with that.  My hip started hurting and then my shoulder started hurting.  I was a hot mess.  Needless to say, I haven't been working out and the weight has been finding its way back to me. 

I have cycled through about 3 different clothing sizes and have about four pairs of pants right now that fit.  My jeans are just frustrating.  I don’t think any of them look good.  They squeeze me in places I don’t want to be squeezed or make me look like a stuffed sausage.  While we were on vacation last month, we stopped into a jeans outlet.  What a joke that was, Andrew saw my true shopping colors come out.  I was annoyed from the get go because this store was advertising that they had a new re-designed line that was supposed to fit women better... lies.  Better fit by rear.  First of all, since when do size 0 women have any curves?  Why were the only "very curvy" jeans in sizes 0-8?  No one with those sizes should be wearing anything called "very curvy".  Sorry for those of you reading this that fall into these categories.  I don't mean to offend you, I'm simply expressing my frustrations. 

Prime example here  A friend of mine recently went to buy  a pair of Spanx to wear under a dress for a wedding.  Now, the whole premise of Spanx is to contain things that need to be contained.  The women that are wearing them obviously already think they have something to contain.  The problem I have with Spanx is the sizing on them.  At first, my friend purchased a pair that was for a person about twice her weight... they were too tight.  She ended up with a pair meant for someone three times her size.  How does this help a woman who already thinks she needs Spanx with their body image now really?  It doesn't.  It makes it worse.  What is wrong with these people making these things?

Now for my additional frustrations.  I have an interview on Friday and nothing to wear.  I have a suit that I wore when I interviewed at Principal and now it doesn't fit, sadness.  I think that means I am going to have to go out tomorrow night and buy something to wear.  That makes me mad because it means my lack of working out is going to cost me money to buy some new clothes, but if it means a new job I will do it!
