Like many people, I would like to trim it down in the New Year. It is obvious I have not given up hope as I keep 5 different sizes of jeans in my closet at all times. I will not tell you those sizes, mis amigos, pero...I will share with you their images in this most valuable pain scale. Feel free to pass it on to your physician or local emergency room.

I have the same affliction! except each set of jeans I keep are a very distinct style as the poundage seems to have slowly crept up on me since high school, and the jeans will fit kiddo sooner than they will me, there is still that outside hope
Oh Kelley, that is a great visual! I believe I have the same problem and yikes, hate it!
I'm sorry your crotch is so sad.
You're so funny. Maybe if I would have said pass the broccoli I wouldn't need maternity or elastic waistband jeans. Those are the only suckers I could fit into right now. I don't think I could fit my arm into my high school jeans.
Oh man, the Jeans Pain Scale....love it! I do have one pair in particular that I couldn't wear to an all-you-can-scarf-down buffet or they might have to be surgically removed!
I love the faces on your jeans...
I saw that commercial for the Pajama Jeans last night. Stretchy, like sweat pants, yet, with a "stylish" look. Almost like real jeans. Almost.
For a fleeting second when I saw the commercial, I thought "those might be great". Then, I slapped some sense into my head and thought wearing them would FOR-SURE get me on the "people of Wal-Mart" page. No thank you!
So, a challenge: Who will stick with the classic "I will work out and loose weight this year" resolution the longest? Anyone going longer than 2 weeks (which is my M.O.)?
Girl lets just give up together and wear nothing but stirrup pants. Old stuff is cool again right?
I have my fat girl jeans, my not totally fat girl jeans, and the "do they really make that size" jeans. I am hoping not to need the last pair in 2011.
Brilliant. Guys have jean shopping so much easier than the gals. My wife will try on a pair of jeans and I will tell her that she looks like she sat in a frying pan. Finding the right jeans is near impossible for the ladies.
I don't even have to try them on. I know my size and I just buy them.
BTW, I am on Twitter now. And I just became your follower.
I feel your pain. Most of my clothes is over 15-20 years old, and I can't find jeans that fit right for the life of me. Thank goodness for elastic.
On a brigthter note: Happy new year!

This is...
This is...
pure genius and sad all rolled into one because it's true. So painfully, "suck it in cause I'm facken wearing these till my face turns blue" true.
I love you.
Mrs. MM is working with a personal trainer who says don't take drastic steps with dieting. She suggests adding something healthy, like salad, to you meals (salad for breakfast??? I think not) and just easing back on portions. That way your body doesn't go into the craving mode which (in my case) leads to craving and over indulging. Good luck and don't try to lose it all in one day.
Happy New Year.
I should read my comments before clicking the post button. Duh, craving leads to craving. What an idiot. you know what I mean.
'm hearing ya girl! It's those pajama jeans I want!
Take heart, sisters. My baby is 21 months old, I hit the gym regularly (although I dread it),and I still can't shed these last 10 pounds of baby. Maybe this year I should start accepting myself for who I am 3 kids later.
Poor sad crotch.
Throw em out! Get yoself (and then wreck yoself) a pair of JEGGINGS! (ewwwww)
I so have this affliction. I finally threw away a pair of size 4 jeans that I have been deluded into thinking I'd fit into sometime...like, when? when I'm 50? please.
happy new year!
It is the stinking holiday food Oct-Dec! Evil!
I do the same thing with at least 3 sizes. Come on over and join me for dancing with the Kinect - my new get back into those less than largest size of jeans in my closet weight loss plan for the new year. We could totally start the new 2011 version of the Salt-N-Pepa group only I need a voice stand-in.
Happy New Year!! Thanks for all the laughs this year! Wishing you all the best in 2011!
Awesome post. So true!
My jeans make my crotch cry too
Yep, I think we can all relate to this, especially at this time of the year!
My hoping to get into jeans are getting pretty outdated looking, I might have to start tossing them out.....
My pain scale scanned 9 sizes but I am back down 5 away from the top only 4 away from the bottom. :)
Ugh those cowgirl jeans are too much! I saw the bell bottoms are coming back into style so that at least my calves won't sufficate anymore. Happy New Year Kelley!!!
I don't want to make anyone diligent comment readers kill themselves on New Years Day, but I'm still the same size as I was in high school.
Don't hate me.
That being said, this afternoon I attempted to put on a pair of jeggings in the Sears dressing room. I shop at Sears. I'm not that cool. Anyway, the freaking things fit in the waist but were ridiculously tight in the calves. I felt like my ankles and calves were suffocating. I could hardly get the things over my feet. Is this normal? I decided I'm not a jeggings kind of person anyway. Jeggings are dumb. I don't need to wear my tall boots. Tall boots are dumb.
And now after all of that, I wish you a Happy New Year Kelley!
Jeans suck. They are for appearances only, and are no longer my most comfortable item of clothing. Since having 3 kids in 2 pregnancies, and 2 c-sections, I may be only 5 pounds heavier than I was pre-kids, but things be in different places now! Jeans just don't fit my horribly miss-shapen body.
I just have to say that I love this post. This is something men do not understand. I am getting ready to go on a vacation to Indonesia next week and I am going crazy wondering which of my summer jeans are going to fit me! I don't want to go and try them on to see......it is New Year's Day after all and the diet hasn't begun.....sigh. My husband thinks I am crazy....glad someone understands. LOL!
I tried on jeggings at Target. Remember that ep of Friends where Ross wears the leather pants and overheats...that was me. In the 30 secs I had them on. It was not pretty.
I have only 2 sizes of jeans in my closet. I might need a Kimaro new body shaper soon. (I love infomercials)
Ha! I love that you kept those pleated (????) cowgirl jeans in the first picture. At least I'm crossing my fingers and hoping that they are pleated, because you know, they just don't pleat jeans nowadays, and LAWDY knows I likes me jeans with a crisp pleat down the front. Those are rulllllly fly. So fly. In a cowgirl-slash-mom-jeans kind of way.
This could possibly be the greatest post ever! LMAO!
Oh, Kelley...I just love that you make me laugh over the things that would normally bring me to my knees in a driveling, sniveling mess. In your honor, I am now going to stuff my face with another Christmas cornflake wreath thingy. Cheerth! *swallow.* 'Scuse me. Cheers.
I feel your pain!
After my first was born, I was tickled when I could finally slip on the skinny jeans... only to discover there was no hope of zipping (or sitting) in them. Now that I've had another? I'm thinking that the only use for the skinny jeans might be a potholder.
Aaaaaah!
I was just LAMENTING to my hubbins that my FAT jeans are TIGHT. Arg!
Hilarious!
Have you seen the new Pajama Jeans? Maybe we should all give up and just wear those. ;)
my 'scale' is when my gunt hangs over the button. next level, when they don't even get past the bootay.
which is my current condition.
Can I ask why you still have those cowgirl jeans? Just as a sign of how far fashion has come? Or are you hoping they'll come back IN style? :)
So funny and so true. I have pre-pre pregnancy jeans, pre-pregnancy jeans, not doing so bad jeans and fat jeans.
The faces were the best part!
Oh, goodness...I love this! Sometimes my scale ends at a pair of sweatpants, a dozen cookies, and living vicariously through "Biggest Loser" reruns.
Dom - 2.5 - constantly spies me contorting my body to get into my jeans by laying on the bed and doing deep knee bends, etc. And he always says, "Why you do dat, Mama?" And I realize I must look like a really freaky Yo Gabba Gabba character to him.
I dropped 15 pounds in one day. But I had to sign on for a lifetime of raising another child to do it.
I've got at least 20 pairs of jeans stashed away. Literally I've got some from high school.
I only have ONE kind of clothing size and it is the WRONG size. Sadly whatever I have I magically keep growing out of it - Hmmmm, I just don't understand the problem? Happy New Year! W.C.C.
