Anyone who has ever worn pantyhose will know what I am talking about!
Now, try being 100 pounds over weight and put pantyhose on. Sorry guys, but this post will make more sense to women!
You start at your feet, pull them tight, pull them up to your calves, then come the thighs, this is hard, you lift one leg like giving it strength, then lift the other, you twist and turn and pull the pantyhose to get them up and over the thighs. Then comes the hips and belly, at this point you become a contortionist!
You bend at the waist to gather more of the pantyhose. You pull, tug, twist, bend, groan, jump, jiggle and whatever else you have to do to get those dumb things on.
I was so out of breath getting those dumb things on. And I certainly didn’t want my dear husband to witness my pantyhose jiggle!
So I started wearing knee highs. Oh dear! To me that is such an old lady thing to do, but I could not deal with the pantyhose dance.
Instead, here's what I would do: I would buy control top pantyhose, cut the legs off and wear the pantie part with the knee highs. Not a pretty picture at all!
Last week, I realized my new church skirt needed pantyhose and not knee highs, as there was a small slit on the side that would look hideous with knee highs under them.
I bit the bullet and went to buy pantyhose.
Immediately I wondered What size do I get? I had no clue. The size charts all go by your weight and I don’t know how much I weighed! So, I did the best I could and some old habits do not die quickly, I got control top.
I got home and pulled them out of the package.
WOW--they look so small!
Oh dear, will I get them on?
I didn’t want to do the secret dance, but I had to wear them with my skirt! So I started...
I didn’t have to dance to get my pantyhose on! This time I didn't have to be a contortionist!
Wow, oh wow--this program is really working for me in more ways than I knew!
Pantyhose, who in the world invented them?
Well at least now I know: I can wear these dumb things and they fit me right!
Another non-scale victory for me! LOL!

Feet OK.The next thing I knew, I had them up and on--and I wasn’t out of breath!
Calves OK.
Thighs OK.
OK? Wow!
Hips and belly, oh my--they went on without too much dancing.
