So you're on a diet and exercise plan, with the goal of losing weight. As you begin to melt those pounds away, you realize that your clothes are feeling baggier. You know you could use some new outfits, but you don't want to buy a bunch of things that are just going to be too big again in a matter of time. That's where jean insurance comes in.
The company is called Lose and Win Free Jeans and here's how it works. You go out and buy a new pair of jeans. You send your receipt and 30 percent of the cost of your new denim to Bertie Ranger, the president of the company. After you spend some time eating right and exercising regularly, you're bound to need a smaller size. So you mail your jeans back to the pres., and she'll send you the full amount of what you originally paid for them. Then you can go out and buy a second pair of jeans. If you want, you can insure those, too.
It's a clever concept, huh? Now I bet you wish you thought of it first. Tell me, do you think you'd ever buy jean insurance?

Wait — You have to send money before losing any weight? Ha! What a scam.
1That sounds like a scam to me! You could ebay 'em much cheaper!
2or you can just buy cheap jeans and sweatpants.
3Seriously?
4This doesn't seem like the most reliable thing...
Meanwhile, I have a pair of jeans that are now comfortably loose, but I don't want to move on from them quite yet. Does anyone know whether or not you can get the waist tailored to fit my new smaller waist?
Thanks!
5i don't think so. i would most likely just go to a thrift store or borrow jeans from a friend.

6hahaha. then what happens when you gain weight?
7Yeah this sounds ridiculous. You are much better off getting your old jeans tailored if you don't want to have a loose "comfy" pair.
(Nordstrom's does great denim tailoring).
8While it sounds like an interesting idea, it doesn't sound entirely safe.
Several years ago, the women in my mother's office all went on a group diet. As they lost weight, they would bring in their clothes which had gotten too big to give to the other women who were losing weight and also needed clothes to fit. It works great when you have women of various sizes and are approximately the same age.
Anything that didn't get picked up was then donated to Goodwill, so everyone wins.
9Haha, sounds a bit ridic to me.
10Ha, wish I would've thought of that. That woman's going to make a million dollars. Seriously, how many people out there start off with perfectly good intentions to lose weight and then don't? When I was losing weight (and going through jeans rather quickly), I would go to Goodwill every time I lost a size and pick up a pair or two of decent-looking jeans. Then when I got into a smaller size, I gave the bigger ones back to Goodwill. Hey, it worked for me.
11I wouldn't want to send someone money, but overall it's a decent idea. Everytime I buy jeans I wonder what if I need new ones soon? So that's always something on my mind.
