UNDERstanding

Please advise: This entire post is about underwear!

Last weekend, we cleaned out our bedroom closet.  By clean I mean, emptied the entire thing and put everything back in.  In the mean time we also swapped our winter clothes for summer, since spring has sprung here in Colorado.  After moving a shelf out of the way, I found a very old pair of underwear.  Don’t worry, they were clean!

When I checked the size, they were 18/20.  They didn’t seem that big really.  So I tried them on.  Even over my jeans, they were hilarious.  I’m now wearing a size 6 or 8 regularly.  One of the things I had the hardest time with when losing weight was underwear.  Here’s my advice: Most places have a buy 5 for 25 deal or something similar.  Buy 5 different cuts in the size that you think you are.  Decide later which ones you actually like. Wear them around the house before getting stuck in uncomfortable drawers the whole work day.  I have a problem buying pairs I think are fine and then I hate them when I wear them in real life.  Some are great for working out but not for work. Others are awesome for running but not cross training.  Buy lots of different kinds and narrow it from there.

One of the joys of wearing a smaller size underwear is that I can buy the cute pairs now that say things on them!  Before if I tried, you could never actually read what the said.  Or the cute pattern all stretched out, didn’t look the same.  Now when my hubby sees me sans drawers, he often chuckles and I forget it’s because my butt says something! (Yes this pic is a repost, but they are hilarious!)
