I was recently cleaning out a closet of things that no longer fit as a result of my weight loss when I came across a pleasant surprise! My favorite jean jacket from from nearly 40 years ago! (Back when we were all John Denver fans :laugh: ) I thought this closet was just stuff that was too big for me now. Well, my wife had also been storing clothes that were too small for me that she knew I loved. Well, I just had to try it on... and see for yourself! Ro-c-k-y Moun-tain High, Col-o-rad-o ! :happy: :bigsmile:

That must have felt so good, you look amazing - your weight loss is amazing!0 -

What's even more amazing is the date on the picture of you in the jacket is dated the day AFTER your post!!!:noway: :laugh:
I know, the date is set wrong on the camera, but it made me think it had something to do with the Rocky Mountain "high" :laugh:
What a great accomplishment--your weight loss AND the jacket fitting again. I had a similar experience, except, by the time I found the pair of jeans I remembered from years gone by, they were TOO BIG!!! Had to go shopping. How "terrible"---NOT:laugh:0 -

Now the downside. I hope your wife isn't like mine and say "You're not really going to wear that out in public, are you?" and your answer is "Yes I am Dear, now where are my bell bottoms?"
CONGRATS!!!0 -

You look great! It is so amazing to find that old cherished piece of clothing and find it fits again. I can't wait to be able to do that. Thanks for the inspiration!!0

Thanks! And you're correct, Panic! Those were the first words out of her mouth when I suggested we go out for lunch right after that shot was taken! :laugh: But she added, there's a hole in one sleeve. (It was from laying it down too close to the campfire many, many years ago. An ember landed on it and burned a small hole in one sleeve before I noticed. But I couldn't bear to part with it!)0 -

Oh yeah! Forgot about the pants! :laugh:
Should we vote on what I should do with the jacket?
Wear it in public
:noway: Don't wear it in public
:smokin: PUT IT IN THE FIRE - NOT JUST NEXT TO THE FIRE!
:yawn: put it back where you found it0
