Most women own jeans in a variety of sizes. Many expect to temporarily go "up" a size after December. Few are prepared for that other post-holiday horror:
Cathy: I have to go up a size in my stretchy waistband sweatpants!
Guess I am doing well with no weight gain due to covid and no weight gain over the holidays. Maybe high levels of stress and some bad news burns off calories. I got the news 2 days before Christmas that my girlfriend had died. Yes, I am married but a girl I went out with before I met my wife and I have remained friends all these decades. She and her husband often spent time with my wife and I so there were no issues. Her death was not a surprise as she was a very heavy smoker and she was told over two years ago that she would not live long more than a year. Still, not easy news to take. With that on top of the continuing battle I am having with the co-owner of our business is more stress than I want to handle. Ah well, not having to worry about extra weight, at least no more extra than I am already carrying, is a good thing.
