Good problems

I am running out of pants that fit.

Six months ago I was worrying that my pants were too big. Now I have the opposite problem. Admittedly, this is a terrific problem to have. The pants I purchased in September? Too big. The skinny pants that fit in October? Too big (and the crotch area sags to my knees). The formerly too tight pants that I last wore in 2005? They fit, but they seem to be getting longer. Today I busted out a pair that I purchased in 2003 and last wore shortly after my son was born. Those I am able to pull up to my chest, button, and then slouch them down to my waist.

Again, these are GOOD problems to have. I would much rather go through all my "skinny" pants as opposed to the shame associated with "outgrowing" pants at age 35. However, I am also not made out of money. And despite all my hoping, there isn't a money tree in my backyard blossoming with Andrew Jackson's. I'd like to *ideally* keep losing weight so the idea of spending money on clothes that within a few months may not fit isn't appealing. Then again, neither is going to work in clothes that are too big. And going naked isn't an option either.

What's a girl to do? Tailor the existing pants? Pray for a "What Not to Wear Makeover?"
