Pants on the Ground

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Sands Realty 210-414-0966 Texas License #0331413

When I was in junior high school... or as it is called now called, middle school ...my friends and I would start laughing so hard at something that struck us as funny (as many things did) that we couldn't stop laughing.  We laughed until our sides actually hurt.

Those middle school moments don't happen as often these days, maybe because I don't have a lot of  silly girlfriends anymore.  But last week I had one of those middle school moments.

My husband and I have been on Weight Watchers for about 5 months now and have both lost weight.  Since Stephen is much more muscular than I am and also does more physical work than I do, his weight loss has been more dramatic than mine. 

Last week we were watching TV together and Stephen took his belt off to show me how many notches he has gone down on his belt.  Later when he stood up from sitting in the recliner, his pants fell down below his hips.  It made for a dramatic weight-loss moment and was such a funny sight that I had a middle school moment and couldn't stop laughing.

Stephen says he doesn't want to lose any more weight because he would have to buy new clothes.  He needs to buy them, anyway.  I don't think he realizes how baggy they look.  Heck, without a belt his pants are on the ground.

Funny, I thought you were going with the Pants on the Ground from American Idol too. I recently had a situation with a clients kid and thought it might be similiar.

Shirley, that is a great story. I can see why it would cause serious giggles! and yes, Stephen does need new clothes so his pants won't be on the ground in other places besides home! LOL Congrats to both of you for your success with weight watchers!

It's not easy to lose weight. I'm working on that right now as well. Congrats on both of your efforts and weight loss. It is so much healthier to live a leaner lifestyle. I'm on the "white is not right" diet, just my funny name for it. No white food except cottage cheese for breakfast. No bread, pasta, rice.....on & on the list goes. It is amazing how fast it is working. I did dream about a big fat cheeseburger the other night though.

Shirley - The mental image from you story has me roaring!  Congratulations on your husband's weight loss, and your's too!  I have been trying to lose 10 pounds, but am a tad fearful.  Everytime I go on a diet, I lose 5 pounds, but 7 of my friends:-)

Hi Joan, It was a fun moment; not only was it comical but it showed our success with weight loss.

Hi Richard, It was easy, really.  We haven't felt deprived at all.

Hi Ken, thanks for stopping by and thanks for the congrats...

Hi Robert, Thanks :o)

Thanks Mary, Now that would be embarassing if it happened away from home!

Congratulations to you, Melissa.  We can eat hamburgers on Weight Watchers but not cheeseburgers.  We eat at Whataburger once a week, sometimes twice.

Hi Myrl, If you lose 5 pounds I will still be your friend, I promise.  :o)
