These pants have been snug from time to time, but I've never had a hard time zipping them up. I remember very clearly in grad school, Amy, one of my classmates noticing that I'd lost weight. I was wearing my white camos and she pointed out how loose they were on me. I really didn't know since I don't weight myself regularly. However I was showing my bare ass in my thesis performance and wearing a unitard in John Jasperse concert, so I was going to the gym at least 4 times a week. I was also very active. Walking and biking most places, and rarely driving my car.
Before I left CA last year, I sold my car. And now in NY I walk a ton. However, it's not really exercise. Therefore I decided yesterday that I need to change some of my habits. I am not a big fan of the term 'diet' when referring to losing weight, but I will be eating smarter and exercising in some way EVERY day.
Each Monday I will post my food and exercise journal for the previous week, with a photo of me in my white camo pants.
