WEEK 3 - Pants!

WEEK 3  |  January 31, 2012  |  Weight: 296.4  lbs  |  Loss of 2.8  lbs  |  Total Loss 14.2 lbs

Another fantastic loss!  I'm actually pretty amazed that I even lost this amount because I gorged on Mary Brown's (a local fried chicken place) over the weekend and still haven't done any exercise at all.  I had 2 large centers, fries, half a plate of taters and gravy!  Yes it was a moment of weakness and I'm sure it won't be my last.

I was sitting in my chair this week, reading some other weight loss blogs and noticed a lot of people are taking their measurments and recognizing success by clothing size and other things.  I think this is a good idea and I'm going to pick myself up a tape measure to do just that.

I recall in my late 20's a pair of size 36 pants that my wife simply adored and wanted me to buy and wear.  I was quite excited because it's not often my wife tries to get me to dress up.  I went back to the store and tried them on.  They would not fit.  It turns out that I was just barely wearing a size 38 at the time (my first clue that something was going on with my weight).  The store didn't have anything larger than a size 36 - I was crushed and I knew my wife was as well.  I bought the dang things anyway and told her that someday I would fit into them.  Unfortunatly I only ever increased in size.  I wonder if I will ever fit into those pants?  I'm currently just fitting into a size 44.
