As a reminder, please do not discuss current struggle sessions in the mega. We want this to be a little oasis for all of us and the best way to do that is not to feed into existing conflict on the site.

Also, be sure to properly give content warnings and put sensitive subjects behind proper spoiler tags. It's for the mental health of not just your comrades, but yourself as well.

Here is a screenshot of where to find the spoiler button.

No one told me that fat redistribution would absolutely wreck the thighs of my work jeans.
I run back and forth between welding machines, about four miles every night. After only one year of doing this all my work jeans have worn through the thighs and I've had to sew patches into them! This is bullshit. That's like several hundred dollars a year if I have to buy new ones (and I definitely will soon, the patches need patches now).
- Oh yeah, you gotta get new clothes. Even ones with a little stretch eventually stop working. Worst bit is you'll still need new clothes again in a couple years as fat redistribution keeps doing it's thing. Eventually it settles out.
  
  I'm four years in, I suspect this is where my body has settled. The problem I'm having is that my thighs rub and it's a factory work setting so I'm usually sweaty from heat and exercise, and the combination just shreds the thighs of my jeans.
  Evidently wearing longer underwear would reduce the problem? But I like letting my thighs breathe too so ugh
