I seem to be on a phase where my waist is expanding and contracting- apparently it’s a nervous system response, not a weight gain thing or a digestive issue. Some days I look exactly like when I was pregnant- like there’s a ball in my belly, but no swelling or expansion on my hips, boobs, legs, or arms.
The problem for me is that it means I’m struggling to wear my beloved jeans- only my waist is expanding, so my regular pairs are uncomfortable but going up a size just makes the jeans too big everywhere else (I’ve tried). Jeans are what I wear for chores at home days, but also going out shopping, for lunch, for drinks… they’re basically my non-work uniform!
Please suggest alternative options for these bloaty days? I’m struggling to find a jeans alternative other than dungarees (which are fine, but Not The Same wardrobe niche - IYKYK).
