Yesterday I lost a dear friend, this friend kept me warm when I was cold. Always made sure I looked my best. We were tight at times, other times not so much, even some times that I would have force myself to come visit.

Good bye Big Mens section..
I now fit into clothes offered in other sections of the store, areas of the shopping world that you did not want me to see. With print t-shirts that do not say "Big Daddy" or "Big Dogs" or "Big Bass". Yup, I have discovered a whole new world of un-fat clothes and I now see you were not my friend. I am sorry for you, that I have to say goodbye.

I have not purchased any new clothing items since I started my weight loss back in November. I went to 3 stores yesterday just to try on some clothes as mine are all huge on me and to see what size I fit in to now. I have went down 9 pants sizes and 2 shirt sizes. I actually purchased items in the regular section of the store! I can not wait to hit my goal weight and buy what ever I like!

    Thank You all for your encouragement and support! And indeed I need to get some pictures. I guess I am still reluctant to be photographed.
