I wear drug-store/supermarket p-hose most of the time, except for special occasions.  For years I’ve been wearing the same basic brand – control top, support, reinforced toe, size Q.  A few months ago, I noticed that they seemed much smaller (and NO, not from a weight gain on my part; I’ve been wearing the same size at this weight for a while).  I really think this particular brand may have been re-sized, but I absolutely refused to buy Q-Plus.  But boy was I uncomfortable, and since I walk to work, by the time I got to my office it felt like they had crept down around my knees.  I spent the day struggling and feeling stuffed and restricted. I was dreading wearing skirts although they are my preferred workday wear. 

So ironically, here I am at the beginning of my new plan, doing really well and already losing -- and finally in the mental place that wearing the proper size pantyhose was not admitting a defeat.  After all, who was I kidding wearing something that didn’t fit properly? So yesterday I broke down and bought a supply of Q-Plus p-hose.   Getting dressed this morning was a pleasure, I feel comfortable, I feel well-groomed, I look polished and professional.  I even feel slimmer.  Those smaller-sized hose can just stay in the drawer until I’ve lost 10 pounds or so, in the meantime, I am going to focus on looking the best that I can at the moment, and not keep putting off looking nice “until”….

How do the Q-plus feel?  No one knows but you and the check-out lady, right?  Well, and all of us, but we don't KNOW you!  LOL ... anyway, I HATE, HATE, ... LOATHE the feeling of uncomfy pantyhose -- I'd rather wear triple Qs or whatever than have a flippin bind at my whopper of a thigh!
