BlamedCat Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 Hey there! I just wanted to share in the awesomeness that is losing weight! This weekend I realized I was able to actually wear a shirt, buttoned up, that was an XL! I haven't been able to do that (and not look like an stuffed and plump bratwurst) in years! My wife even reminded me that I used to wear that shirt as an over-shirt unbuttoned before we were married, over 6 years ago Sometimes the number on the scale just isn't enough. I'm still hovering on the "tight" side, but I'm so excited to actually see a result that means something!

nikinoo Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 Good job! Its moments like that that make keeping a few items of clothing from more svelte times worth the hassle Quote Pixie Adventurer Courage doesn't always roar.

BlamedCat Posted February 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 Good job! Its moments like that that make keeping a few items of clothing from more svelte times worth the hassle Thank you! Exactly! And for me, I almost threw it all out, because (and this is coming from a guy) I was disgusted with myself for not being able to fit into anything I used to own. I'm happy to be making a change for the better Quote Current Challenge: BlamedCat's Rebirth: From Porkins to Poe Tracking via spreadsheet "Be very careful, then, how you live - not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil."

BlamedCat Posted February 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 Thanks for all the encouragement!! At my largest I was a XXXL and that was comfortable. I'm happy to have this problem of swimming in my clothes... heck, all my pants have to be held up with a belt! (I don't have to drill holes in it yet, not THAT awesome, but getting there!) I treated myself to an XL NF Shield Tee to mark never going back to XXL (and extra fatty charge of $2) again!

otter905 Posted February 13, 2013 Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 I've said many times, getting back into old clothes feels even better than buying new smaller clothes. Congratulations!

Vian Posted February 14, 2013 Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 That's awesome! Good job I've found fitting into smaller clothes to be a huge motivation for me.

marybelle Posted February 14, 2013 Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 Awesome job! I know that was a wonderful feeling! Quote Link to comment
Zephyr's Design Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 This is so awesome!! I'm almost there with a pair of pants that I've been wanting to wear for years and I can understand how fantastic you must feel. You might still be working toward your goal but realizing that the scale can lie and that sometimes it's those items stuffed into the back of the closet that show your progress better is the most rewarding moment.
