Although the world is full of fun and diverse people I’ve discovered you can really divide them all into two groups.
1) People who wear spandex
2) People who wouldn’t wear spandex for all the money in the freakin WORLD.
Until today I was happily entrenched in group #2. There are several reasons for this. For one thing I don’t particularly enjoy displaying my robust size in Hollywoodland of Anorexic Baywatch Barbies. For another, I’m not a fan of constricting items. I don’t wear tight shirts. I don’t wear tight pants. Hell, I don’t even really wear a watch. We can pretty much that this to mean that I won’t ever be a fishnet and leather bustier-wearing dominatrix but I’m okay with that. Yes, yes I am.
Then I ran out of clean clothes.
It’s my fault, I know this. But after a week of having to constantly change clothes for different reasons (the weather, post workouts, beverage clumsiness, meetings, etc) I wasn’t in the mood to tackle the Denali of clothes.
Until it was gym time. I HAD to hit the gym because today is my workout day. And I’m not willing to go at midnight. And I can’t go at 6pm because of previous smell-scariness. So I had to go to the gym. And I didn’t have any freaking PANTS. I raided the closet, the dark back recesses of the closet where you never really look because you usually pull the first clean thing off the clean laundry pile. I came up with two options.
1) jeans
2) spandex
So I went with:
Spandex pants
And let me tell you something it was UNCOMFORTABLE. They fit just fine but I was totally conscious of every fat cell in my body. Freaked me out.
I think my new strategy when I’m feeling snacky is to put on spandex pants. It might be the ultimate appetite suppressant.
Edited to add: Yes, I’m sucking in my tummy. A LOT.

I think you look great!
Girl, I wear spandex to the gym every day. EVERY DAY and my ass and thighs are ginormous. I can’t see your ass, but your thighs look fantastic.
I couldn’t workout if it weren’t for my spandex. To me it’s much more comfy than cotton stuff, plus it hides the sweat marks. Nothing worse than displaying a sweaty crack or crotch for the world to see.
Thanks Loribelle!
And HZ a LOT of people wear spandex to the gym. I can honestly I don’t notice unless it’s a total train wreck outfit. I’m saying for me it was the most uncomfortable thing and I was incredibly self conscious. VERY weird.
