Wardrobe Expansion

alexp74

I work as a dispatcher for a university police department and with the start of school comes the need to switch back to business casual.

Given that I have lost 18 pounds since the middle of April that means that my pants are probably going to be too big. Tried all of them on the other day and some are far too big, others are just right and the 5 pairs that were previously too small and just hanging in the closet for "someday" are now in the regular rotation!

I saw a former co-worker last night in the grocery store and they commented right off that I was looking good and must have lost a lot of weight! '

Slowly and steadily working at this and feeling amazing.

I like being able to wear things I haven't had the chance to in years!

As an aside, since I keep posting I've filled out my bio page and am ready to accept friend requests!

Congratulations on your 18 lbs in 4-ish months! That's no small feat. Thanks for sharing - one more reason to lovingly caress my skinny jeans and NOT eat oreos today

YAY! Enjoy your new wardrome and have fun shopping.

I went to Old Navy back in July to get a couple of new shirts, picked up the 2x I have always worn and grabbed an XL just to see and psyched myself up to not be too disappointed if they it didn't fit. Tried it on, left with 5 XL shirts and a new belt because I was tired of poking holes in the one I had.

Thanks! Got a ton of walking in and I also officiate 2 sports which helps a lot since it's something I enjoy doing. Getting ready for basketball so I can get up and down the floor quicker, that will keep me busy.

My friends bought a bag of snacks for a trip I took recently and in it was a package of Oreos. I am proud to say I am eating them but at a rate of 2 cookies a week! If they get stale before I finish them it wasn't meant to be. This from the man who could eat 8-10 cookies in a sitting!
