It's the day after Thanksgiving, and I'm recuperating from yesterday's feast. Yes, I like many people around the good old US, ate way too much yesterday, and did suffer the full effects of the Tryptophan low.
Thanksgiving is another one of those love/hate holidays for me. I LOVE being with family, bonding, and of course the eating. I HATE all the eating because there is soooo much to eat, and in my parents house like good Filipinos, there is massive amounts of food in the house. Mom & Dad typically cook enough food to feed 12 people when there are only 5 scheduled to show up. Besides all the Thanksgiving food, there is also the general repertoire of every day food. It is a house of food abundance and love, but it is not a good environment if you are trying to get back into or stay in your skinny jeans.
Yesterday, I wore baggy jeans made of stretch material. When the jean makers started adding spandex to the denim mix, I was just over the moon. I think every woman in the world was over the moon and stars. Now, we can wear jeans and have it expand with our level of bloatedness. The feeling you have a noose around your waist when you eat one too many bon bons is now gone. Bye Bye can't breathe, feel my head explode, constricting jeans. We get the elastic waistband without it looking like we're wearing fat pants.
