I haven't read anything so relatable in a long time! I too have a long torso and shortish legs, a smaller waist and larger hips and thighs. Jeans that fit well and feel good are our Holy Grail, and while finding them doesn't solve the world's larger problems, it does make us feel more secure in ourselves. I hope you find that security and peace, whether you continue this habit or not. You know what's best for you. Take care, and thanks for writing this.
Excellent piece. And it's always the jeans. We all seem to have the jeans we wear, the jeans reserved for our post-vacation spread, and the jeans that are completely uncomfortable, but saved at the bottom of the drawer for this type of self-examination. I wonder how it feels to tell this secret on yourself?

This habit hurts you. Please tell your therapist, get tips from him, stop this self torture, and relax every time the urge strikes.
I agree and thank you!
Christie, this is heroic. I'm saving your post for inspiration when I'm ready to write about my jeans.
