Dear SSD, my fat jeans are tight.

[g8rbeckie]

*sigh*.

what should I do?

Please don't say exercise and eat better.

I'm looking for solutions that include ice cream. And maybe Reese's Peanut Butter cups.

thx in advance for your help,

Beckie

Sew in some elastic?! Just kidding!

My fat jeans are tight too! Time for more ice cream! rofl

[my2monkeys]

you are not alone... bad fat jeans for shrinking in the wash (don't pop my wishful thinking ;))

[NeverendingJen]

buy new jeans and blame it on the washing machine shrinking them!

[SeattleSheri]

Rename them skinny jeans! ... and then go get yourself some ice cream :)

[MamaBee]

It's too hot to wear jeans... so trade them in for loose fitting clothes and cool down with ice cream... ;) Soon it will be sweater weather... LOL!

there's always the cookie diet
...any diet with the word "cookie" is a great idea in my book....

Have you actually heard about this? I saw a news clip with some lady in a town I used to live in that's on this cookie diet...she has to special order them though

I sure do love some cookies lol

Rip out the tag, tell yourself they're 2 sizes smaller than they are, congratulate yourself for fitting into them at all, and then go celebrate with peanut butter cup ice cream!

[Lauramarie]

Put them away and bring out the summer dresses. Who needs jeans anyway!

[mkcdaisy]

yep its the washing machines fault!

at some point, Costco was selling some cookie diet. oh yeah, Hollywood Cookie Diet (http://www.costco.com/Browse/Product.aspx?Prodid=11525213&search=cookie&Mo=54&cm_re=1_en-_-Top_Left_Nav-_-Top_search&lang=en-US&Nr=P_CatalogName:BC&Sp=S&N=5000043&whse=BC&Dx=mode+matchallpartial&Ntk=Text_Search&Dr=P_CatalogName:BC&Ne=4000000&D=cookie&Ntt=cookie&No=0&Ntx=mode+matchallpartial&Nty=1&topnav=&s=1). I have seen recipes for diet cookies too. Basically we're talking a lot of fiber.

I knew you girls would come through!! I liked Sheri's idea - rename them skinny jeans and keep eating :p

Dear Beckie,

Remember umbros? We could bring them back in style.

I can no longer button any of my jeans while I'm sitting down. If it wasn't so freakin' hot and boring, I would exercise. But really, if we can just find an umbro distributor, we wouldn't have to worry about that anymore.

YES! I have been on the search for something similar to them for years...they are all we wore in high school/college and I wore one pair that i had well into my 20's until they literally just fell apart :p They were so comfortable...

[strawberryredhead]

lol Beckie

If diet and exercise are out of the question, the only solution is to buy new jeans and stop for ice cream on the way home. :)

[Scrapper007]

LOL!! I am looking for that kind of solution too! ;-)

I think the best thing is to cut back where you don't notice it ... we just made these this afternoon ... we used the 1/3 fat cream cheese ... lol yum yum ... bet it would have worked with splenda too ... and yes ... I have had a major 2 months of chocolate cravings!...it's getting tight here too!

CREAM CHEESE BROWNIES
1 reg. pkg. brownie mix
1 (8 oz.) cream cheese (softened)
1/3 c. sugar
1 egg
1 tsp. vanilla
Prepare brownie mix as directed on package. Combine cream and sugar, mixing until well blended. Blend in egg and vanilla. Reserve 1/2 cup brownie batter. Spread remaining batter onto bottom of greased 13x9 inch baking pan. Cover with cream cheese mixture. Spoon on reserved batter. Cut through batter with knife several times for marble effect. Bake at 350 degrees for 35 to 40 minutes or until cream cheese mixture is lightly browned. Cool. Cut in small squares.

[g8rbeckie]

YUM Sharon! We'll have to try those out!!
