I pulled a pair of ripstop pants over my swimsuit to wear until we got to the boat to go snorkeling.

As I was walking down the dock, the slid down my hips and I barely caught them before they dropped down to the ground. LOL!

I'd worn them earlier with no problem. I figure it's because the swimsuit was slick, and so were the pants.  But still!

I think I'm going to retire them because next time I might not have a swimsuit underneath!

I see several NSVs in your post:

1.  Pants are so big on you now that they fall off!
2.  Wearing a swimsuit in public!
3.  Going snorkeling!

You're doing amazing!!!  Congrats!

You're absolutely right.  And the other thing--my sis and I took my mom to Hawaii in 2007.  I was embarrassed to be seen in a swimsuit, and didn't want pictures taken.

And back then, I weighed about what I weigh now, maybe a little more.

Amazing how different a weight/size looks on the way down from the way it looked on the way up.  Now I feel thin compared to two months ago.  Then I felt fat.

Of course, I also feel like my body shape is different this time, though I can't figure out why it would be.  My stomach seems smaller than it did back then.  I may need to see if my sister has any pictures left from back then (even though I didn't want to see them at the time) to compare.

Three years ago, I weighed about what I weigh now ...and you're right.  I felt so fat then, but now I feel so much smaller at the same size.  It's all a matter of perspective, I suppose.

I agree about perspective, but I am also wondering if I've got a different shape this time.

OMG gurl, that is a great NSV but if my pants fell down with no bathing suit underneath, I'd be mortified!!!
You are doing awesome gurl! But yes, retire those ripstop pants!!! Great job on the snorkeling!!!!

I did have on my bathing suit when it happened.  I'm not taking a chance on it happening again, though!
